ZMANALEX Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Could be numerous things from lack of use to wiring or sensor issues or 5th Bow Motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewal Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 One of the most basic checks you can do and easiest fixes is to check the fabric straps above your head, one on each side. They need to be tight enough to pull the front part of the frame. Over time they loose their strength and become floppy. Check youtube for some easy fixes using bungey cord and similar. I believe they can be bought as a service item but the roof fabric has to come off to rivet them in. Thats why many resort to elasticated cord which seems to do the job.

rabbitstew Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I had an issue on mine when i was only a few years old with how those fabric straps were attached to the metal rods which go over your head. On mine, the tension pulled the metal retaining bit back from the length of the bar. Nissan took it back and just riveted it back in place. Cheap & nasty fix but it seemed to help.
