TOP Tearing issue

My hatch has been fine so far, we'll see if Nissan will even recognize the problem first. And about the stuck hatch issue, Nissan has not said anything about it which is why most dealers won't even fix it without some $$. Lucky some of our smarter members figured out that switching the springs to a different part # fixes the problem 100%.

Sounds like Nissan needs to get on the case of Magna who allegedly make this top! I mean come on wearing out within 3 months approx, that is not good it spoils a very nice car!!

Actually there is a TSB out for the springs. And the other trick for fixing the spring issue I originally posted so people with the 370Z could see what had already been done with the 350Z and its sticky hatch.

when this thread gets to 40 plus posts please feel free to come back and tell us how bad convertibles are...

Until then, unless you have something constructive to add to the conversation.

Harsh, maybe but I hate thread jackers and this site needs a bit more jacker control.
