Ladies and Gentlemen,
As with many of the plastic headlights over the years, as well as plastic convertible back windows, those plastic film overlays that prevent abrasion of the tonneau cover paint do turn yellow with time and exposure to sunlight.
There are 3 sections to the "compartment door protector" (Nissan's name for the sticky one side clear film). The larger sections on each side are $51.05 each and the center section $29.34 USD. Essentially you can remove the old yellow ones with a hair drier or heat gun, as they will peal right off with a little heat to loosen the glue.
After removing the protective plastic seal off of the new ones, they simply press right onto the tonneau cover (what Nissan should have called the top cover in the first place).
Seems pretty expensive, and I would wonder if a similar material couldn't be sourced elsewhere and cut to the correct shape before application to the car. There are lots of companies that make clear bra's for cars that use this material, and they must have a source from 3M or similar for it.
