Hey, I'm in Waterloo. I just got my Roadster last weekend. Did you buy one of the ones from Guelph Nissan?

Jazz,

Interesting problem, the top on mine opens great but when I try to close it the following happens.

Storage area opens, soft top starts to expand, then the storage cover closes and the top stops, closes no further, but there is a noice. So what I tried is tapping on the rear part of the top and then it closes. It appears to get stuck or something.

I took it to dealer and they played with it for a few hours, put it on a machine and got a hydrolic over heat error. They called Nissan tech support and they told them that the hydrolic motor needs to be replaced. It was ordered 4 weeks ago and still waiting for it to arrive.

Jazz you need to drive that car of yours,

Even with the top problem I love mine. 3500KM

Be afraid Be very afraid!!!!
After 4-5 weeks of waiting the hydrolic motor came in and a job that was to take 4-6 hours took 7 long days!!!
I informed Nissan Canada that it would appear that alot of individuals are having opening and closing issues with their 370Z. I was told my the dealer that Nissan Canada Techs worked continues with the dealership on the problem and requested that video & pictures be taken during the repair. It would appear that the harness that runs the top is a new design and it don't only run the top but also runs the trunk, rear window defroster and many other items. It look like this one needs to go back to the drawing board!
And this morning, day after I got it home, same thing!!. It's going back on Monday for another look.

On another note, I was also concerned about the wear on the left and right sides of the windshield, where the roof meets the frame. Dealer told Nissan about the issue also and the dealer told me that Nissan plans to have a product (3M) put on the location to help with the wear.
