Dramagodes - Thanks for confirming. Nissan corporate and dealer told me same few months ago - tsb and new fix will be ready this spring. Can't wait.

My 17 Sport Touring Roadster has same issue described in this thread. I do reach back pull the fifth bow forward when I am putting the top down. I have noticed that if I leave the top down for a while in the garage (maybe a few days), when I put the top up and then back down, the cover does not hit the top during the next round. To me this just confirms to me that the bungies are weak and ineffective after they have been stretched for a prolonged period of time. Seems like cheap material and hopefully any replacement for them would be made of a more durably elastic material.

Just as a side not. This is my second 370 roadster - third 370Z overall. My 2014 Touring Roadster did not do this at all. Not sure why - I think I was just lucky. I love this 2017 Spot Touring Roadster, but I am starting to miss my 15 Nismo Tech even with the leaky windows and hatch issues.
