My 370Z is '10. This is not a daily driver at all.
Had issues with the top not opening. No even lowering of the windows.
Just dead. Tried every trick, fuses, switches, permissive, with no success; dealer wanted $3,800 to replace the control module.... no warranty ouch!
Due to mileage and other considerations decided to operate the top manually.
I love the car and don't plan to sell it so it works for me.

Took me a bit (too busy at work) but it worked fine.
the hard part was to disengage the 5th bow latch and then disengage the top hatch compartment using the steel cables. The latter in my case was the worst part.
right now the top is down and if the day is not perfect to drive with the top down i just don't drive it. It takes a bit of effort to operate manually but... happy with the reults
