How much have u put up with ur 370z?

marks370z

My '12 has something wrong with trunk hatch release where as I click it once and it pops slightly but doesn't unlock so I have to click it again to get it to unlock fully then kind of have to force it up, very minimally, but enough to where it feels like I shouldn't have to be doing it.

Then again I'm either too lazy or it doesn't bother me enough to get it fixed.

I kid you not, I went out to my Z and looked at the plungers and they looked to me to be facing outwards, so I just turned them around and bam it works.

Thanks for that!

there was a TSB for it, but not sure if it applies to the Nismo or '12. It's mainly because of the little springs Baer mentioned. Try repositioning or have the dealer replace them. They're like $30 each.

somewhere around here is a DIY hatch fix using a couple pennies as spacers.

my hatch needs help sometimes too, but its not annoying enough that ive fixxed it.

there's a bulletin... buts stiffer springs in the little rubber bumpers for the iniotial push. even then, mine still gets fussy if it's cold.... i'm sure the lift cylinders are part of the equation too.
