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

I noticed this problem only started to happen recently now that the temperature has dropped a bit. It probably happens once or twice a week now.

Open and close the hatch multiple times daily. Did the "three penny" thing on 31 August - haven't had to press the button more than once since then.

For Australian 370Z owners, a TSB has finally been issued!!!!

I called my Nissan service dealer to ask about the spring issue. He said he had no idea. But then he contacted Nissan and rang to let me know the good news.

They have a few springs in stock, so be quick or else you will have to wait for the parts of back order.

Best of all - FREE OF CHARGE!!!!

Everyone experiencing this issue needs to call 1-800-NISSAN-1 or 1-800-647-7261 and file a concern in order to build a credible complaint that will hopefully spawn a TSB release for us.

These Lift Springs are $32.00 EA. I dont know about you, but I can think of better things to spend 64 bucks on...

The longer part # you have listed is for a '02-'07 350Z. The part number for these for a 370Z is 84415-1EA0A. I just want to make sure with everyone and that all is informed that the picture you have listed is not the actual part Nissan will sell you.

Badass man, bout damned time.

I think the guy above didn't read all of the posts, particularly the ones where other people as well as myself posted the current part numbers.

Mine started doing the same thing last week. Thought I did not press the button hard enough. Will make note of it on my 6000 mile service.

The button is a freakin electronic button, not a latch. You can press your keyfob unlock button as hard as you want and it's not going to make a difference on how hard your doors will unlock. Occasionally HOLDING the button may hold the "popper" a little longer and allow the latch to leave the lock, but that's it. /rant
