This was a big issue on the original 350Z. you could try the two penny trick as most of us with 350Z had to do but it does not always work. Nissan needs to address this, but probably won't unless enough people complain.
If mine does this when I get it in a couple of months you can bet I will be complaining and taking it in until it gets addressed one way or the other. |

go to that dreaded site my350z.somethingorother and search in the Maintenance and Repair section for "Rear Hatch Opening Fix"
Page 2 post number 40 goes into graphic details... I am sure this will void your warranty

I have the same issue. Holding the button doesn't help and I don't believe it's temperature related as we in Australia are currently in our winter and it's been happening with ambient temps of about 8 deg C.

evidentally there is a TSB out for the hatch bump stops on the 350z...supposidly there are stiffer springs that replace the springs in our bump stops. however theres ppl complaining that even with the new springs installed they are still having issues...
and no TSB for us yet? yet we are having the same issues with ours... has anyone asked their dealership to see if the 350z TSB covers the 370z? and the penny trick looks like it would work, i will give a shot later on today... basically all you do is: -remove the bump stops from both sides -peel pack the rubber boots -take out the springs -drop two pennies into each boot -re-insert the springs -re-attach the boots to the bump stop mechanism -re-install the bump stops -done... |

I just did the two penny trick. And it seemed to have more of a forced upwards push...which makes me think it works...
I'll check it again in the morning to see if it was just a fluke... |

Holding the button never worked for me. Its either press the button pull up on it when I'm one handed or pull up with the other hand while I hold the button down...

just went out and checked it...
and to my dissapointment it did not fully unlatch...I had to push the button twice... but, it did seem to have more of a push up than before... so I am going for 3 pennies on each side and will test it again later... |

Well I went to the Nissan Dealership and spoke with the service department.
He looked it up and there has not been a TSB released for the 370z for this issue yet. They are not allowed to use a 350z TSB on the 370z... more to follow, working on getting some pics off of my cell phone sd card... |

so here it is...the 350z replacement spring lift part number changed from 84415-CD71A to 84415-CD715, price is $32.00 EA.
I am going to start a new thread with this info and a phone number to nissan for people with the same issue to call and file a concern in the hopes that nissan will release a TSB for 370Z owners as well. This way we arent spending $64.00 bucks of our money to fix a manufacturing defect...
