Despite this, the bungees are still too loose which appears to cause the impact between 5th bow and deck lid. I have called a few local top specialists and they all seem to be in agreement that Nissan uses a very cheap bungee strap and that an aftermarket replacement would fix this issue at minimal cost. Putting the Nissan bungee straps in as a replacement would be a complete waste of time and $$$
