Hello, first time caller, long time listener here.
I just did this repair on a 370Z in our shop and it is much more involved than the previous kits. I thank you majorly for providing the TSB.
The issue with this particular 370Z was the 5th bow hitting the edge of the storage compartment, not actually the tonneau. But it did come into contact with that.
There are a lot of parts to these tops, but the main thing I just wanted to say is that this kit, as of now, makes a big difference in the top operation right away by adding a spring which does the brunt of the pulling.
We've done quite a few of these with the older bungee repair kit in the past with mixed success. Sometimes it would only solve the rubbing mostly, but not fully. The spring on the new kit, once installed, really pulls the bow up and out of the way and when it stows it keeps everything nice and tight.
