The warranty manager just called me this afternoon to tell me Nissan is sending him a complete top assembly for my car. This top includes the fabric, struts, etc., and an improved pivot pin (whatever that is) which is supposed to fix this issue. I’ll post an update when I know more and when the installation has been completed.

See if you can get some pics of that pivot pin, and where it sets on the vert top frame, when they do your install. I know we all would appreciate seeing them.

Thanks for the updates too.

This is important info for those of us who have had the top-tear issue (or signs of it). As per Hi-Step'N's post, please see what you can find out about the "pivot pin." If not a photo, perhaps a definition - what is it and where is it located on the top mechanism? If this proves to be the true source of our top-tear issue, we will thank you immensely.
