My windows will do this for a few hours after a wash but then it dries up nicely.

My 370Z behaves the same way. There are drain holes on the bottom of the doors of every car I have owned. I will check if the 370Z has them, if yes then it may be they are clogged in some of your cars.

Today I went to my Nissan servicing dealer re this matter. I provided him the serial part number for the longer springs.

He looked it up and it is NOT AN AUSTRALIAN part. If I want it, it will cost me $60AUD each.

The dealer was happy to look into it for me. He asked me to contact Nissan Customer Service to see their view.

I contacted Australia Nissan Customer Service and spoke to some arrogant person who did not want to know about it. The fella was an absoultely useless moron and it makes me sick

He said, Nissan warrant certain parts, and this spring lift is not standard on Australian cars. If I want that part, it will be at my cost.

However GTRFAN got the longer springs. Will be interesting to see how he got it?

I subsequently contacted my servicing dealer and he will start a Techline and speak to Nissan Warranty.

Above all, the servicing dealer was excellent and thoroughly recommend Highway Nissan for people in Brisbane Australia.

I havn't picked them up yet, but he did ring to say they were in. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Windows - I noticed a line running vertically down my left window today and under further inspection it's scratched. I showed the dealer and they said they will have to take the door trim appart and see whats causing it and then replace the glass. Pain in the *** as I want to get tint now...not later.

Hatch issue - I picked up my replacement hatch springs today. Works perfectly now! I got them free under warranty. The service manager said there is an official bulletin coming out for the 370z soon for this issue so it was easy for him to get the part approved.

Hi GTRFan. Pls lemme know if u find out when it's officially on a bulletin. Til then my service centre just keeps lubeing it up..

Mine has the same issue so I try not roll down the widows for a day till the water evaporates from the rubber window scraper.

Highway Nissan in Brisbane rang me and said Nissan Australia said no about the parts. They said it was an overseas part unless TSB comes out! (f*ckwits)

Anyway, I will keep waiting...

Highway Nissan were excellent. Great service.

I havent driven my Z since 8/9 when I washed and waxed it with Bowdens stuff. Looks too nice to get dirty!!!

Hey Darren,

I didn't see this one before not sure if you've seen it:

370Z Purple/Pearlish Paint Defects

thanks

My paint defect is not a big deal as it's hard to see so I think I'll just leave it. I have shown the dealer and the have it on record with photos, so I am covered if I want to claim it.

My 10K service is on the 30th and I'm bringing up what I think are paint defects on my boot lip area. Looks like little thin worms have borrowed under the paint

Spoke to the service manager again today about my scratched window. I am dropping it off on Monday so they can pull the trim off and see whats going on, fix it and justify replacement glass under warranty. He said if I had installed tint, it would not have been covered! Once it's sorted I'll tint though.

Wet windows - His response was this. The felt lining along the edge of the seal is designed to catch water, so until it evaporates it will leave wet streaks on the glass if you wind it up and down. Normal.
