Here is a video from 8/29/19 of the new bungee with lid still hitting roof. It was in the morning about 7am with 62 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Little chilly with some humidity.

I had the new bungee fix installed by dealer/Nissan engineer on 8/13/19. On 8/26 I noticed the first time the lid hit the roof as I was about to drive to work at 7am. It was about 65 degrees Fahrenheit outside and lots of humidity. The lid hit again on 8/27, worked fine on 8/28 and then again hit the roof on 8/29 as I recorded the video below.
Also want to point out that on those days it worked fine in the afternoon/evening when the temperature was higher (80 or so). The dealership did tell me that these bungees are rated to work at temperatures as low as 40 degrees Fahrenheit, so not sure why they are failing at 62 degrees.

This video was taken on 8/29/19, approximately two and a half weeks after new bungees were installed by dealer.
