Bungee Kit and then some

gryghst

I ordered the bungee kit from pronissanparts.com. they were very helpful and provided the TSB install documentation. However, nissanpartsdeal.com is also very good to deal with. Pronissanparts is located in Texas, and nissanpartsdeal is located in New Jersey.

Thanks for all your hard work with this project. Please keep us informed as to how well it is working for you. It looks like a very tedious and complicated project so i hope it will be a good solution. I have the same issue with my 2014 being very loud and hitting the top also and am ready to order this new part # as soon as you can verify it is an adequate solution.


Thanks!

I wish I could give some feedback as to how it works after installing new bungee kit (fixing the roof hitting and snapping shut). However, I only installed the short bungees which did stop the roof from snapping closed. I messed around with the long bungees and screwed them up. I am left with either ordering the new bungee kit again and following the TSB install instructions or taking it to a dealer. Undecided at this time.

Ok I think i will just order the new kit and figure it out. Thanks for posting the TSB pdf info. I went through it yesterday and think i can get it done.

Just waiting for it to come in. Maybe i will try to video the process and see if its something worthwhile that might help others.

Yes, that would be great but not that easy to I guess. Even just making good notes, video/photo any tricky bits or where the service bulletin was not real clear. I am sure there will be quite a few if not all of us that will need to do this task at some stage.

Cheers and good luck 🙂

Hi mate, thanks also for posting all the info on the new bungee kit. Like many others, or do I say just about everyone’s, my deck lid hits the 5th bow and I was going to order the new kit and replace it myself, using the Top hydraulics very helpful video clip but when I read that some owners here on the forum said it took Nissan over a week to install the new kit part number I knew that the kit must be quite different from the original one. Here in Australia I have no confidence in letting my local Nissan dealer do this work. I may ring around Sydney at some stage to see if any dealership has carried this out, as I do not want my car to be the guinea pig.
