Look into your state's Lemon Law.

Alabama lemon law reads as if its for new cars AND must be done within the first year of ownership.

I got a response from the Service Manager...

The Folding Top Stack assembly is a discontinued part from Nissan North America. However, we have found one of these we can procure, if we act quickly and it is a new part. We will not be able to get an ETA on the part until after it ships. The total investment for this repair is: $21,334.17 plus tax, of course.

I wonder if this guy is serious?

That is absolutely ridiculous :shakes head: String him along and tell him to procure the part while you procure financing. Do not pay them a dime.

Frankly, if they have done work on the top and there was never a leak before the work, I would argue that the work they did caused the problem and they should be fixing it at their own expense. Get corporate involved.

Have you done a drench test? Take a garden hose w/o attachment and let it pour over different parts of the car with someone inside checking.

@bunk asked if the top opened and closed properly. It did new, then started to stop halfway. We brought it in to the dealer (while under warranty) and got the "Yeah, we fixed it... but then it wouldn't open again weeks later, I (and Nissan) have a record of everything done with the top.

Latest response from local dealer (after three emails and three weeks) to get a "hint" on the diagnosis.

In all honesty the top has been lowered/raised MAYBE 50 times and the car is garage kept w/ 100K miles.

I'm sorry I don't have any information for you, but I'm a bit confused by this issue. how can parts no longer be available? didn't Nissan sell the roadster until literally last year? were there two versions?
