Melanie cotterill-towell Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Hi..I've bought a 350z 53 plate import at the weekend! Has been very well looked after but im having an issue with roof...when I open it doesn't totally go flat so the metal lid doesn't close. .. The previous owners said the roof had shrunk and okay when dry? Is this cobswallop ? Should invest in a new roof? If so any recommendations in Devon or Hampshire? Also the passenger window when asked to close on auto button closes but then drops down half way! Only way to close is to individually click the button...I think that is going to be very annoying along with the roof!! Any suggestions on windows? Few other questions but ill save those Thank you very much Melanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 to the forum. These roofs should not be operated below 8C. If you are lucky then that is all it will be, if you are unlucky it will be the 5th bow motor. Try a window reset for the drop glass issue.

Andre D Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 may also be worth checking the elastic strips either side of the soft top if they are stretched/worn the roof wont go down, easy fix though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 The Window reset guide is on the forum- just do a quick search, that should sort one problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyardbear Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Had my roof down yesterday took 4 attempts as first time since August last but works perfect now. The material needs some time to adjust after being stretched all them months. Try a hand full of times keep your finger on the button for a while once down to help it fold in then roof back backup and repete each time you will notice the roof go further in till the lid will come down.

Junkyardbear Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 P.s never ever force it down manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
