Sweet!

My rear hatch on my '09 is starting to get a bit sticky and not popping all the way up. Gonna pull that weight out tonight.

You can also pop the rubber covers off of the springs and then put a washer inside. Thats what i did and havent had a problem since. I will remove the weight anyway for weight reduction (:

Years later, This is still an awesome write up! I've had my 09 for about a month now and my hatching was sticking when I pushed the open button. Works everytime like magic now. Thanks! :ughdance:

Just removed the weight. AWESOME WRITE UP! SUPER EASY! THANKS!

Christ... I can't believe its been YEARS...

This month is the 3rd anniversary of me owning a 370Z

Congratz...

Ive seen quite a few guys selling it after a coupe years and we lost quite a few nice guys on the forum !

And I'll be here. My family doesn't sell cars. We drive them until they get totaled.
I'm just praying the site doesn't turn to my350z...

Aren't we all?

Nice DIY! just did it to my 2015 nismo. I didn't have a pry tool, but a butter knife works just as well!

Just took my weight out and put a nickel on each of the springs! Only thing you forgot to mention for tools was a nice cold beer. Thanks DE and all the other pioneers on here who have made life easy for us who couldn't afford our Z until later! NoLaKrewe, I'm in Baton Rouge and have inky owned my car for a couple months but hope to cross paths with y'all sooner than later.

Step 9 is to drink a beer! And give rep :tup:

I have been known to be a little ambitious in that area. And I will gladly give rep just don't know how.

Signed,
Another NOOBY

After 5 years of owning the car, I finally found the solution! Thanks so much! No more sticking!

Yo DE, I just completed this along with installing Z1 mega struts! It work like charm, thanks brother and you have been repped! :tiphat:
