!!For 370Z Owners with the Stuck Hatch Release Issue!!
I also went to my dealer and got the revised Springs, it only helps a little and it did not solve the problem. I tried a few different things with pennies and washers and they did not really help much. Gave up for a long while until recently and this is my newest attempt. It seems to be working!
I used two of these rubber stick on's on each side, one on the bottom as pictured and one inside the spring mechanism and it seems to have solved the problem. I also have a EVO-R high wing and it pops open on the first try now...

$39 each from local Stealership
I will be trying the coin fix my self.
I called my local stealership and they want $39 EACH. All I could is laugh and say for $80 I will find an alternative. |

Just a little update this is not a long-term fix it still will stick. I might have to add a couple more.

Uxi.. can you describe in more detail? Just trying to bird-dog your issue. It could be as simple as a rubber issue or as complicated as a actuator issue

same here... about 50% of the time it requires 2 pops to get it to release.

bringing back to life an old post. my hatch won't open unless i hit the button twice. i'll press and it will open a little but it will still be locked. i have to hit the button again for it to open. is this normal? or should you be able to hit the button once and it pops open?

Guess I'm in the club now. 2015 Nismo hatch clicks on the first touch but is still locked. I have to press the button and pull up or it stays locked.

Hatch being stuck
Quote:
I had the same issue with my 16' Z Nismo. I didn't think just switching out the springs would fix it. But it did. The service dealership I go to where I bought the car are very good to me. I find it really interesting this wasn't fixed way back in '09 they just put a TSB out and after reading a number of stories from fellow Z owners i'm really surprised it's not covered for anyone that has warranty left. Even out of warranty, it should still be covered. The one tech that knew a lot about Z's explained to me it's not just the 370's it's other model's as well. So far so good for me anyway. Next step would of been replacing the button he said which is a lot more work with the bumper needing to be removed. Hopefully this is a perm. fix. Good luck. I do believe in going to another dealership and seeing if they will help. Really depends which one you go to. Some people are lucky, other's we all know are not. Calling Nissan is a big hassle and it's not worth the time going through that channel for something like this. The springs are worth maybe a dollar or two to make. The mark up is unreal with these oem parts. |

I find Nissan accountable though for this not the dealership. It's a major issue the tech said who has worked for them for years and said he was really surprised year after year he sees this same issue.
