I thought about not posting my thoughts about this latest top issue, but decided to, just in case anyone else feel's the same way as I do.

I'm sure the TSB replacements will work fine, but really Nissan, ELASTIC BANDS??? What about a stainless steel springs instead? The bands can't possibly have the life span of tempered steel springs. They last forever.

To me, this means that if you're not having the problem now, sooner than later, when the bungee's lose their original tension and get even just a little bit weaker, you will. At least the TSB should cover us for some years past warranty?
