opening or closing

r9u8t0

I had that happen to me a couple of times when I first got my car, but I found out that I wasn't closing the trunk sufficiently to where it would latch. I experienced that if the trunk wasn't latched the top would not open or close. I now make sure the trunk is latched and I haven't had a problem since. This may not be your problem but it is strange that you can get to work after you open and close the trunk. Good luck.

thats funny you say that about the trunk!! i know it was closed as i checked it...but, when i re-open it and close it the top will work once! then i have to do it again to put the top up!! must be bad latch!

That's interesting. Something similar happened to me twice when I first got the car...

For me it was I had left the top in the half closed position with the tonneau cover open for ~30 mins after which the top refused to open or close on its own. I had to manually fold it and close the cover, and after a couple ignition start & stops and maybe 10 push and holds on the top close button it finally decided to close again.

I've heard someone at a dealership refer to it as the top 'falling off the track' and them saying it happens often with the 370z's but have no idea what actually goes wrong.
