Chad, thanks again for letting me use your photos, and thanks for confirming that manually unlocking the 370Z top was easy. The two bolts on the striker must have threadlocker on them, which is why Lookup remarked:

"At first it looks like you will have to use an open end wrench on those bolts (10mm again). But there are holes over the bolts covered by adhesive tabs. Remove the tabs and you can wedge a small ratchet under the rear window and get the socket on these bolts. It's worth it because they turn hard all the way out."
