I would submit an issue/complaint to Nissan USA and get them involved. I had to do the same thing to get someone to take care of my faulty fuel senders that went out right at the end of my warranty. It eventually got taken care of; a month later and at a different dealer.

I agree, nissan usa will get involved and direct you to a dealer that will do the warranty job

so the nismo springs are longer? is this because of the add'd weight of the wing to help pop the hatch? do the nismo springs work on non nismo hatches? also how much do these springs cost? id love to fix this.. it's a pain in the butt trying to open it with crap in my hands. not to mention i don't wanna scratch the crap outta the trunk with whatever im holding.

Yes due to the added weight longer springs are needed. But apparently this still does not work too well as Nissan has added some transparent rubber pieces stuck to the bottom of the hatch where the spring hits.

mine started doing it

fml someone please provide part numbers so i can order through cortesyparts.com...

my dealer wont replace them stupid mofos

tjlazer · 10-25-2012, 02:05 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, 04:04 PM

how many pennys?

kdo2milger · 10-25-2012, 06:39 PM

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 · 10-27-2012, 12:10 AM

Nope not normal.

simota1 · 10-27-2012, 01:19 AM
