Ordered replacement bungees couple of weeks ago, and took my car into a local shop that does tops, seats & upholstery. Charged me $200 for the labor & first operating of the top is perfect! Hope...

Appearance wise, can't tell it's there. No bumps or anything noticeable, as it sits next to roof frame tubing, so it doesn't hit top fabric that I can tell. Don't think it's interfering with...

Just tried this as an experiment, taking some of the slack out of the bungees. Definitely helped, and may serve as a temporary fix until getting around to replacing the bungees. I took a 1/4 copper...

Interesting, looking up parts for bungee replacements and I've come across several parts websites that list the bungees as discontinued. Has Nissan changed its part or design for this in recent...

Thanks, yes I've kept up with this thread. Not anxious to replace the pump. I did see one post mention the bungees were replaced which sort of fixed it but sort of didn't. Wasn't sure if the...

Any further developments on this? Tempted to try replacing the hydraulic pump with one from tophydraulics to see if that makes any difference.

similar issue

My 2010 has been doing this past few months at least as well, where 5th bow isn't retracted up far enough & tonneau lid clips it opening. Sometimes the 5th bow cracks & creaks as it folds into the...

For that gap, if I'm not mistaken I think that's what the adjustment nuts on each side of the 5th bow are for, is setting the clearance to rest on the lid. Might be worth a try.

Yep, and make sure all 3 presses are registering (should see the lights flash with each push, which makes timing about right if you wait for the lights before the next press). Then, you have to wait...

No problems here, mine's been working fine. I'd check your fuse (if you haven't already) both in line & at the box (presuming that's where you ran your line to). If it's not there, I'd be...

I agree with above comments. I have a 370ZR, after having the 350ZR. I find the 370ZR "tighter" feeling than the 350ZR, and no cowl shake or feeling like it isn't rigid due to being a vert. Also,...

SRM is a neat feature....definitely makes downshifting smoother. Seems like on lower/easy cruising upshifts it gives a little lurch with keeping the rpms up though.
