Click click click in the top frame

This noise on the 2nd top and endless top tweaking at the dealership was what cause me to get rid of my 2010 370ZR. 18k miles on mine, excellent vehicle on the track (besides the lack of a cage), but horrible on the street. It's a shame Nissan blundered the top so badly... though I do wonder if it was just the 2010s.

Between this clicking, a whistling at highway speeds (top up or down ) but only when there were no cars for about 30 car lengths in front (nice laminar flow), and unsolvable top wear, finally gave up and (over?) corrected to a GS350 FSport.

Woes in my 2 year span:
* Dealership repaint to address a factory defect ( a "Z" discoloration in the paint but only in the sun if you can believe that )
* First top tore itself apart (literally)
* Top when opening would bash the tonneau cover below 45 degrees
* Which when corrected led to top folding too tightly causing significant wear at folded contact points
* Rub and wear caused by wire loom on tonneau arm
* Complete replacement of all clutch hydraulics after trackday failure, stock clutch
* Pitiful whistles and rattles

Finally capped with a nice dent in the front bumper (promptly covered with the carbonfiber fang cover =p ) cause by the car rolling into the wench on my trailer when someone forgot to set the parking brake.

Too much for 2y at 18k... had less problems in my 8 years owning a 10y old CRX!
