Top is broken

nis350 · 09-15-2016, 12:38 AM

were there any major changes or redesign to mitigate the problems with the earlier tops?

If so, when did that come out?

But I too had been reading all the problems with the top before I bought mine & that is why I purchased the extended warranty that would cover the top. No problems for 7 yrs.

I really couldn't tell you that. I would think that Nissan would just be looking at what problems were coming in as repeat ones & make small changes when needed. I believe I read somewhere that the tops are manufactured by a third party. (does anyone know if this is true?) It seems that a lot of the problems were with wire bundle routing & not having enough play when they would bend. Something like that would be easy to remedy.

I had heard the tops were being made, at least early on by Magna in Canada but can't confirm that.
