!!For 370Z Owners with the Stuck Hatch Release Issue!!

tjlazer · 10-25-2012, 01:05 PM

I would try the penny trick or add rubber stops on the hatch part where spring hits. Nismos have that.

simota1 · 10-25-2012, 03:04 PM

how many pennys?

kdo2milger · 10-25-2012, 05:39 PM

2 on each side, then 3 if thats not enough

Just had the dealer replace under warranty. New ones seem MUCH better. Of course time will tell.

Mine has always required two hits of the hatch button to open. I didn't know it was not supposed to do that...

tjlazer · 10-26-2012, 11:10 PM

Nope not normal.

simota1 · 10-27-2012, 12:19 AM

Just had the springs replaced on my 2011. Looks like this problem wasn't just the 2009 models.

Yup...Nissan never learned their lesson from the Z33 model and look at how many years they made it. Prob won't learn it on the Z34 model and we are into the 5th year of this model. Good thing about it is the TSB, beats the pennies fix IF car is still under warranty.

The bros 09 model stared sticking last winter...duh..cold effects this issue. Dealer said yesterday, just bring it in and they do NOT need to see it sticking to replace it under warranty. Now that is dealer service. Rep to Future Nissan of Roseville, CA.
