Rear hatch press twice to open
Hello All,
When I bought my "Z", in 2009 brand new and within 3 months the hatch would not pop open on the first try and sometimes not even on the second try without my help. I lived in Florida so it not just a cold weather issue. I brought the car back to the dealer and gave me the run around. They replaced the spring lifts with the same one that the car came with and at the dealer before I drove it out it did the same thing. After doing some research I found service bulletin " Classification # BT10-004 Reference: NTB10-014 Dated 01/26/2010". Titled: "2009 370Z COUPE; REAR HATCH WILL NOT OPEN ON FIRST PUSH OF RELEASE BUTTON". I took the car back to the dealer almost a year later and told them I wanted the spring lifts replaced with the part number in the service bulletin. I have had my "Z" for 12 years and had never had the issue again and I have live in New Jersey and now in The Chicago area for the better part of 8 years with no issues. I have attached the service bulletin. The part number for the new spring lifts is 84415-1EA1E if they tell you it was superseded that's B/S. HOPE THIS HELPS
