Roadster is literally a "you're on your own" car to own, especially with anything related to the top. Great car... horrible top and horrible response rates with helpful information. Nissan themselves are just as helpful if you go there. They fucking suck.

I've scoured trying to find any fix for the lock when the top closes completely, as in the hatch lock. It's crazy af. Then, if you watch a video of a top replacement, it can be 20 mins long and they skip half the small but important parts. Just cut to the next step like you knew wtf they did... 😠

Happier spending money on replacement parts than a loan, then to have to buy the replacement parts later. Found a good EBay option. I’ll order it once I get some liquid encouragement.

Thanks! Any ideas for when the hatch doesn't move at all? Like, when I try to lower the top automatically, the process begins (fifth bow unlatches and raises just fine) but everything freezes right at the point where the hatch should lift up to receive the top. Any advice on how to figure out why the hatch doesn't move?
@keithboye
6 ай бұрын
I don't have full knowledge on that. but my guess would be to look at the two motors located in the trunk that control the hatch, and then if you're able to back-trace the connection to the switch under the steering wheel to look for issues. if the motors attempt to move it probably has something to do with the latching mechanism. and if the motors don't its probably a connection to the switch or bad motors. This whole system is over complicated for what it does being completely honest.

If you have the manual latch release you should be able to force it open, with a pry bar if those latch releases aren't there, then you'd have to find a way to route a coat hanger or wire to those latch releases or just start cutting stuff up.

@keithboye
Жыл бұрын
If you're talking about the fifth bow, then the latch that connects it to the cover is accessible from the underside of the hatch. From what I remember reading, you have to cut into the plastic cover to expose and operate the latch since it doesn't have a manual release. Or if you know what you're doing it may be possible to send a signal and unlatch it that way.

if you can get both at the same time it will come up evenly but if you do one side at a time you'll just have to go back and forth between the two both ways work
