Convertible Roof Control Module

[Chester15]

I have recently bought my 2010 370z GT convertible but it has developed a fault on the convertible roof. Original diagnosis from local garage was fifth bow locking mechanism seized. Ordered a replacement and had it fitted. As still not working properly took car to Nissan. Their system saying that I need to replace the roof control module - cost = £2,500.

Has anyone come across this kind of issue before or have any suggestions for me to explore other than having to part with that kind of money.

Thanks

Hi, just exactly what is happening with the soft top, is it jamming part way through or just wont open or shut at all ?

Problem started 6 weeks ago when soft top stopped half way through opening. Managed to fully open it manually. Local garage oiled and greased all moving parts in case it was just sticking. Didn't work so as they didn't have the diagnostic equipment they suggested taking it to a garage they recommended. Actually a VAG specialist - put it on their diagnostic and no errors came up but on investigation they found that the fifth bow lock was very stiff. Left it soak overnight in lubricant but didn't solve problem. In position now even after reset that cannot do anything with the roof - it is currently closed but cannot open it. What adds to the problem is that the warning buzzer on the dash is continuously buzzing as car thinks there is a fault.

Hi

Apologies for a late reply, don't panic over a failing roof, Cayman Autos will fix it. Sorted our 5th bow issue out at a fraction of the Nissan quote.

If the roof is failing to close and the heated rear window is not working check the connector at the rear window, re-connect and the roof will return to full fitness.

Cheers.
