New Member - Convertible Top No Longer Works

HillcrestTop · 11-27-2017, 07:47 PM

Hello everyone, a new member on here! My big topic to start is I now own a 2014 370Z convertible touring, however about a month ago, the convertible top stopped working! I wasn't sure which thread to add this to. The bottom line is I've tried both an independent car shop, as well as the Nissan Dealer, and they say the only way to fix it is to replace the soft top control unit, which will be over 3k. I have already invested over 1k in replacing the 5th Bow Latch Sensor, and that did not fix the problem. I was wondering if this has happened to any of you, and was there a solution, an inexpensive solution? The dealer did reset the sensors so I would not have to hear the ongoing sound it makes letting me know the top is not completely up. Thank you in advance - Robert

Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear of this problem

Not sure I can answer your question but someone else may be able to...

There are a couple of threads in the Roadster section that discuss various problems that people have had with their tops

Good Luck with this. Hopefully you can come up with a solution...
