Hi Yorky, checked out that link adn yep sure enough pinhole appearing in the roof replaced immediately by NIssan in the US with no issue! ALso intersting that in the US you get 2 years worth of warranty for new tyres due ot the feathering problem on the front tyres. I'll you know how it goes on Monday with the Nissan warranty obsfication team. Thanks brian

Hi there Here are a couple of pics of the crack on the offside. Nearside is going in the same sort of area. Thanks for responses so far! brian

I've got a UK 05/05 roadster. Guess what? The hood has holes appearing in it and not when you open it! Its not from malicious damage or accident but the material itself is starting to shear apart (not at the seams but in the middle of the panels), seems worst around what would be between the b-pillar and c-pillar, where it goes from the windows to the rear screen. Best bit is Nissan say its not a manufacturing problem! So the dealer can't do anything more and I have to try and sort it out now. So Nissan, who else supplied the material for the hood then and fitted it? Perhaps its a hobby project, so I can spend the time when my car is in the garage being fixed with a duff gearbox or failing wheel bearings fabricating a replacement hood. Next is the joy of spending 3 hours in total on hold today to talk to 'customer service' to have my number taken with an assurance of a call back which never occured, so back to it on Monday. Anyway I wondered if any other convertible owners were seeing the same thing? They look like small cracks when they first appear.

Someone mentioned posting some of the common warranty issues, so here's my first one. Synchromesh on 6th gear needs replacing. Symptoms? Nearly everytime you select 6th it will 'graunch'. Got mine done under warranty.
