Nissan 370Z Roadster (Z34) Convertible Roof Fault No 1 and Repair

[@ivoke103]

Oh, finally a real solution to the problem. I was told that the actuator piston is bad - undersized - and can only be replaced together with the whole roof mechanism for £3750. TY!!!

This video, with its coolheaded instruction, is exceptionally helpful. The 370z roadster is worth putting this effort into, wholeheartedly. This is me in a couple weeks. Many, many thanks from this 'ere yank.

I vote for an installation video on the next one of these you do 🙏🙏🙏. Thanks

[@CabrioletTech]

If you can get the vehicle and come video it why not ! 😂

[@anthonydixon6457]

Make my own video. Excellent idea 👍

[@JM-tb1fp]

Thank you for your video! I'm thinking of purchasing 370z Roadster with roof mechanism not working. I'm hoping to fix it myself to save some money

[@dval8553]

thank you so much

[@fernandoespana1944]

Thank you for posting this video. It's exactly what I was looking for. I have a question, when ordering the kit, I assume I have to order two of them? One for each side? Or does the kit come with parts for both sides?

[@CabrioletTech]

Hi 1 kit covers both sides

Where can I get this kit. Straight from nissan ? Name of kit ?

[@l.a.vicemotors4480]

Thanks in advance

Hopefully you respond but mine almost closes but when it’s trying to push the top down, to close it fully it doesn’t. I’m thinking it’s the fabric under the latch cause it is lose I’m thinking it’s getting cause to get stuck.

Hi im repairing the fiat 500 roof one of my runners is broken i want to replace it do i take the rivets out or repair the same one ? Thanks

[@faraznawaz8709]

Will this be available for the North American market? I have the same issue with my 2010 roadster

Dude I've been installing this kit over and over again for the past two months following the service bulletin by the letter and could not for the life of me get it to operate without pinching the spring between and behind the elbow joint. The straps were always about 2-3 inches short to make the bolt hole without pulling the spring through the D ring. The install instructions show the tether wrapped around the black bar and coming around front but it does not work that way. I see that you have it not wrapped around the black bar and pulled right off the rivet plate to the d ring. My question is, have you any pinching with the way you have the spring cable run here? I'm about desperate to finish this job and ensure it's working properly so the car can get out of the shop and back into the owner's hands.

[@CabrioletTech]

Hello I'm pretty sure I followed the bulletin to the letter, the spring was very hard to pull to get to the end bolt but definitely no pinching Happy to discuss over a video call if that helps ? Regards Team VagPro

[@Vaelithe]

@@CabrioletTech I found the problem! D ring was in the old D ring hole. Just being able to pause and look at what you've got here was an immense help. I cannot express enough gratitude for this upload. Time to button this thing down for the final time, hopefully. Thanks again!

[@mustafaalbadri2977]

would somebody please tell me what part number I ahould buy? i have the same issue.

[@CabrioletTech]

Part number in the video

[@zmanpianoman]

To expensive for new bungees. Why can't you just take up some slack on the old cords. Easy enough to do and save $500.00.

[@CabrioletTech]

Of course, but the old ones are past their elastic limit so permanently deformed But if you really want to save money, why bother just do it manually ?

[@zmanpianoman]

Home Depot has something that might work. Lol Can't see getting ripped off for some rubber cords.

[@CabrioletTech]

But doing it by hand is free?
