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

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... |

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... |
