surely, can find a shop that can do that remove the top and the part, and then find another machine shop who can make you the part.

I am curious on how it will work out too.

No Luck Yet!
 

So I attempted to buy a few wrecked 370Z roadsters over the summer, but was unsuccessful. I really didn't do any additional investigation into fixing the top. I drove the car about 2.5K miles, on nice sunny days with the top down. Amazingly, you can drive at least 80 mph and the tonneau stays down without issue (I have the fuse pulled for the top, so the tonneau does not lock and no annoying warning buzzer).

I am hoping to spend more time and be more aggressive at finding a solution this summer.

there you go

Hello guys,

I'm wondering if the 5th bungee kit prevents this issue or not at all ?

Thank you

Well mine broke as well on the right side
 

Hi,
The cast Iron part broke on mine just now as well. 2017 Roadster.
I am pissed.

What have others done for a solution

5 Bungy done last winter
 

I had the 5Th bungy done last winter and the frame just broke today

Ugh! That's disheartening, especially due to the vehicle's age. :shakes head:

I'm sorry to hear this.

I am having same issue with my 2016 370z. The same part broke and they dont just sell the part. I have contacted Nissan consumer affairs and they wont help me. I would never have bought this car knowing that this piece could break and it would cost $18,000 I would like to find other 370z owners with same problem and see what we can do..

I have same problem. They wont fix it. Cost is $18,000 This is crazy. We need to find others and try and go to Nissan. I would never have bought this car knowing this could happen..

I have same problem and Nissan wont do anything. Said I need a new top. $18,000 Crazy. Would never bought car knowing this could break

Well I have been calling lawyers.
Where are you located?

I also have the same problem. Another person with the same problem has contacted me and we are going to try and get this resolved. You need to contact us. 954-822-3368. Jeff

look for a used top from the eeebay or some junkyard, that's what I did when it broke couple years ago.

Really disappointed in Nissans lack of support for the Z roadster.
 

The is absolutely no excuse for Nissan not selling ANY convertible top piece part separately. Most Hydraulic and electrical repairs on the top are VERY straightforward ( I have done some) and Nissan refuses to sell ANY cylinder, hose, sensor by itself. Thankfully third parties have stepped in.

You MUST buy the whole hydraulic assembly for over 7K just by itself. In fact the Nissan service manual states in bold type that it is prohibited for a Nissan tech to disassemble any part of the Hydraulic electrical convertible top system.

For Nissan to treat mechanical parts in the same way is even more outrageous. Nissan should make available most all critical mechanical parts for the top on this car. There is no excuse. 2010-2019 Roadster production was nearly identical year to year so it would have very little inventory cost for Nissan to do so.

Well we are starting a Class Action against Nissan because of this.

Please join this page and let's rally everyone and get this class action started.
