370z roof won't move warning light on

jkatt

i now have the issue, the roof will open just slightly, the top part opens maybe about 1//4 way open and it just stops, pushing the button will not reverse and try to close back up or open it the rest of the way, no sounds from the motors either, ugh. 45,000 miles, i think its still under warranty.

Are you getting any error indications on the dash? If it is still under warranty, take it in.

If you are maybe wanting to close it manually go to this link http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/370Z/Coupe/2010/RF.pdf and the procedure starts on RF-24.

Good luck

opens part of the way maybe 12" back then just stops the back cover moves up also, nissan today told me its not under warranty, has 46,000 miles and the warranty was 3yr/36,000. sucks. i got it to close using the manual method and the hex tool and got it locked into place but of course the buzzer stays on the whole time you're driving still.

You made some progress, at least you can drive it now. mrthomr had the same problem, check out top is broken below. It is probably electrical & there are just so many possibilities I wouldn't know where to start. There have been a couple of members that have had wiring harness problems due to a breakage from opening & closing all the time. Sorry I can't help you.
Top is broken

just happened this weekend, top hydraulics are shot and have leaked, new kit plus labor is $9,100 from Nissan, how cute!!!!

Sorry to hear the new problems. Have you talked to Klaus at TopHydraulics? He usually can help with all things hydraulic.
Good luck, please keep us updated.

Seems to me if you get it from Nissan you will have the same thing you have now. Not a good thing at that price.

From the sound of things Top Hydraulics will rebuild the cylinders with better seals. If it were mine I'd send them to TH and rebuild it with better than new, probably one or two at a time until they're all done.

As always YMMV and all that.

Hey guys,

readed the whole topic and have a problm as well. At the beginning there was no trouble to open the roof but sometimes during closing is stucks befor the back has starts to get closed (see video)
https://streamable.com/4h1id

But when i supported the roof at this point by hands it worked. Then sometimes the same happend during opening. Now the roof is not coming out more then 20 cm of the box then it falls back. After 2-3 seconds i can try it again but still the same. The pump is working until this moment and more or less operating fine.
I‘ve tried to block the roof befor the issue to check if there is a problem with the weight but its working fine as long as i hold it. But when i release its still just going to the same point.

I hope someone can help me.
Best regards from germany
