The dealer told me they gave me the new part number so I am wondering if it is not the springs but maybe the latch. I can't believe Nissan has not commented on this or identified a long term solution. It is warming here in CA so I will have to wait until winter but if it continues then, I will use the penny...

When I went into the dealer last, and mentioned this issue, I was told it might be the latch, and not just the springs. I haven't taken it in because I don't want them messing-up the interior pieces.
