convertible maintenance

Running around. My 2010 Roadster is at Nissan right now, I had a problem similar to yours a few days ago pretty much the top stopped moving and with some help I was able to get it closed, I bought the car as is from a small dealer so I have no warranty, the tech showed me what was wrong 2 hydraulics along with some wires come built in with the top and a wire is broken they said they are not able to order those parts by themselves or that Nissan doesnt sell them that way. A new top is $14,000.00 that is not a type-o 14 grand, the service manager did not even consider getting a new top as an option he told me he is going to make calls and possibly have my car repaired by a place that specializes in convertible tops and there is several places like that in Houston. This in 1 of the biggest and busiest dealers around and even though they are trying I honestly don't think they know how to repair tops, I sure hope someone can fix it right for a reasonable price. I hope all goes well with you're Z as well.
