I was going to do this by pm to Alex and Lee but I think its always good to have these problems archived.
A few months ago had a problem with my roof not opening and after a bit of greasing and working by hand I thought it was resolved.
On the last day of the hoon the roof stopped working completely and as it was pissing down I was very grateful to the Chris and Rik for helping me out.
The car has now been at the dealers for three weeks and they still havent managed to locate the problem. I dont have any issues with them as I fully appreciate this is not one of the common faults and they have little dealings with the 350z let alone the roadster.
The symptoms.
The last time the roof closed the mechanism that locks and seals the roof did not and would not fully engage so although the roof is watertight its not fully closed, there is a few mms clearance. The roof will now not operate at all.
When I press the button the windows drop and the seats move. There is then a small whirr as the motor starts then nothing. The orange roof fault light was on when I took it to the dealer. When we were closing the roof in Scotland it was stiff to move and not as easy to do by hand as it was previously.
The dealr tells me that there are no fault codes and all the component parts have been checked and are fine. The car thinks the roof is working Nissan have suggested some checks but the info is in Japanese and they havent come up with any answers as yet.
I dont need the car at the moment but am scheduling some other work so the delay is frustrating.
I will be getting in touch with Nissan tomorrow to register the problem with customer services.
