How much did you end up paying for it? I saw a salvaged one close to me, offered the dude 500 but I had to pull it off myself. Nah...lol
Im still installing the 5th bow fix. Theres a push nut washer that ruined my life. Finally got a replacement from Nissan.

$500 is very very cheap for the whole roof, do you mean the metal frame and all the hydraulics?


I bought mine for about USD$2800 including the crate he has to build.


Mine has both hinges broken on both sides and Nissan doesn't make replacement part for that.

Yeah, the whole assembly including the hydraulics. Wouldve been nice to have a spare set of all the parts.
He had a few wrecked cars he was parting out so I think he was just buying wrecked cars, parting them out, then sending off to the junk yard for scrap metal.
