Thanks Gene, I will have a look at this.
A bit more background info on my issue: In 2015, a dealership replaced the hinges for the tonneau cover, saying that there was too much play in them.
Part numbers of the hinges:
972401ET0A HINGE-LID RH
972411ET0A HINGE-LID L

Fast forward to this year, the soft top was not opening properly at all. Another dealership found that this cover (attached) was broken and it was the cause of the soft top not opening. Some weeks later a new cover arrived and was fitted after they aligned the top. When they operated the top with the replacement cover, that broke as well (another cover is now on order). The top can still open without that cover.

Also, this dealership told me that Nissan has newer hinges than the ones replaced in 2015 for my car, which they ordered and installed. Since then I have two new issues:

1. When going over bumpy parts of road, there's a lot of rattling behind me, doesn't happen often, but it is there when the top is closed, but louder when the top is down << Really lost on this one, but I will take the Service Manager for a ride so he can hear it too.

2. When I went to fetch the car, I asked that they open the top. Sure enough, the tonneau cover struck the soft top on first opening, did it's stall, closed it, opened it again. I found that the tonneau cover was sitting abit skew on the driver side, they adjusted it while I waited but I just wonder if that will break the other cover that's on its way.
