Here are some images of the top and of the hatch arm. You can see what the tech did to it (move wiring harness and taped it up). The wear mark has not worsened since they adjusted the way the wiring harness was attached to the arm. The fuzz is gone, but the mark is still there.

Thanks, Merlin. Now I understand, as your issue is different than mine, Z_U_Later's, and others' where the wear occurs in a more central location. That's bad news since it suggests that there isn't just one common problem, or one fix out there.

After looking at the pic's, I am wondering just what exactly did the wear-through? Those two round nubs look like the culprit, and the harness itself looks worn at the bend, and could also make the wear-through, but rather than assume, I thought I'd ask if anyone at the dealer, or from Nissan, has ever identified the part of the frame that was the actual cause of the wear-through.

Bye the way, how did they get to the frame and harness? The top must have needed to be removed. Was that a big deal to do?
