Crack in Nismo Wing

OptionZero · 11-11-2018, 06:42 PM

Noticed this crack in my Nismo wing (09-14) near the center support piece. Its rattling like hell and there's a pretty nasty noise when i close the hatch.

Has anyone ever gotten this before? No trauma/accident/tree falling on it

I have a 2015 but swapped in a 09-14 hatch and wing that came together from a scrapped Nismo. Came from a junkyard, but didn't have the crack when it was installed. Perhaps it was weaked previously and only broke down with use?

My car's been in various shops since probably July, so i dont even remember if it was this bad before.

I'm headed back to the shop some time this week or next week when i have time.

IF they can't fix it, maybe . . . it's time for a GT wing

Never seen that before.

Almost like someone tried to lift the hatch by the wing itself and the additional stress on the center post caused it... Just a thought.

Someone pressed down on it.
