!!For 370Z Owners with the Stuck Hatch Release Issue!!

Thanks for the info Vipor! Just called my dealership about an hour ago and the springs are on the way. I'm so glad I have a dealership that doesn't give me any grief.

Ironic! In my 350Z it's exactly the other way around...The hatch door actually slams on my head if I don't prop it open! Nissan needs to get with the program!

that's not the "springs" that we're talking about. you're talking about the struts wearing out. your car is almost 6 years old, maybe it's just time to replace them.

grats kdo, bout effin time.

thanks bud!

hearing that a TSB was released in Australia is a good thing for them, hopefully Nissan will issue the TSB here in the states as well for others sake...

Had problem at two weeks old...dealer put a little white lithium grease on it and no further problems. I noticed it on colder mornings only. Seems to be fine now except for the grease on the latch...it could get on your clothes or head.

yeah they did that for me initially

the grease made it better, and then it got worse

needless to say following the TSB, with the new springs, its all good for me...

dont be fooled by the grease... it dont fix the issue. just a bandaid.
