I have the same problem. It's out of warranty and the dealer told me it would cost $20,000 to repair. The roof is $18k by itself. I went to Nissan Customer service and asked them to find someone to pick the part out of the assembly line. Their response? "Congratulations! Nissan will pay 50% of the repair." Geez, thanks! So it will only cost me $10k to replace a 4x4 metal bracket! No thanks.

I figure if I replace it for with a junker part, it's just going to break again. So, I'm gonna find me a machine shop to build me 2 brackets out of stainless and replace both side brackets myself.
