It's been over a week since my top was replaced, and I've not cycled it since the first day when I got home – and it still doesn't close properly. If the car has been in the sun, it closes fine, but if I park in the underground lot where it's cool (even in Southwest Florida), it comes up just short of the windshield pillar so the latches come up just short of catching.

I'll keep trying for another week or so and then take it back to the dealer for an adjustment if it still doesn't close. It seems to bind just a tiny bit on the roll bar when it goes through its second phase of closing - after the toneau cover has closed. It actually closes in a much smoother fashion than the original top so I'm pretty satisfied so far. I'm confident the dealer will make it right but I agree with Hi-Step’n370Z – Nissan should initiate a TSB on this issue.
