Hello jp4z,

thanks for the detailed progress report with pics. I particularly like the comments on removing the striker bolts. Everything's easy once you know how to do it, and this is going to help a lot of fellow 370Z convertible owners!

One question: you posted one picture where the plug is removed from the headliner near the rear view mirror, showing access to the top lock for manual opening. I cannot quite see what size wrench you need - is it a 6-mm Allen, or a T40 Torx, or larger?

I will address the leak and what to do next in a follow-on post with pics. There may be a few hours delay, because the moderators still have to approve my posts with pictures in them while I am a fairly new member...

Klaus
