5th bow bungee

Unless a dealership has an old version laying on the shelf youll get the new version. It should have fixed yours?? The 2 Ive did previously fixed the problem with hitting the cover and the loud snap when closing the top

Great that you can get replacement from Nissan.
Common problem with a lot of small convertibles.Same problem I had on my Spider.I made my own flat bungees to work.Part was unavailable.

see the new thread. nissan stopped using the temporary fix - bungee cords, and instead started working on a true fix. They say the fix should be ready in 2 to 3 months (approx. July 2019). I talked to nissan corporate and they're asking everyone with this problem to call in and open a case

Hey it only took them ten model years to come up with a fix.
Good thing they had nothing to do with the moon missions

Lets not hold our breath just yet! At least they didnt take MBZ and call it a Z35.

Any idea what a true fix would be?

Hi All,

I just contacted Nissan here in Australia to order my bungee kit as the lid hitting is starting to annoy me now. I quoted p/no 971F6-1ET0C and they said cost about $230 which is about right here for Australia based on the US price.
Interestingly he said that part has just been superseded and new part no is 971F61ET2A and will cost $530. Has anybody heard of this part number? I asked for more info about it but parts man had no idea as no one as ordered one yet through his dealership, which is not surprising here in Newcastle (2hr north of Sydney).

Could it be a new improved bungee, I'm hoping but
