asif.a Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Hi, I seem to be having a problem with my roof fully closing. It seems as though it doesn't want to lock into the boot-lid when closing. Can anyone please recommend a roof specialist near Bedford! Thanks Quote

Briggsybriggs1 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Hi mate my roadster did the same it's normal in cold wether . You can also grease the roof mechanism . Is it out in the cold or in a garage ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Lexx Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 As said, the roof is notoriously temperamental in cold weather (anything beneath 5°). Greasing the hinges helps Quote
asif.a Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 Thank you for the quick response guys. My roof works fine and is stored in a garage. Is there anyone local to me I can take the car too? If not, do you know anyone who is experienced enough to look at it? Cheers Quote
Briggsybriggs1 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 It can still be a problem with the cold in a garage your best to cover it over with a blanket. It's the vinyl roof that stops it closing all the way as it's stiff when trying to fold all the way down. Don't take in nissan they do jack all about the 350 roadsters. Don't no off any one to take it to Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

asif.a Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 Just to clear up any confusion guys... the roof operates fine its just the 5th bow hook doesn't seem to go down into the the boot-lid latch when you put the roof back up. Who is CS? Thanks 1 Quote

Rs2oo Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Mine is doing exactly the same, opens no problem then gets 95% of the way but the long U shaped bracket wont engage into the hole with the two rubber covers. Have put lots of grease in the hole, can activate the catch inside with my finger but the bloody bracket wont go in the hole ! lots of pushing pulling and generally moving it about can finally get it in but ive had the roof up and down 30 + times this morning and its gone in twice with a fight and two of us operating it. 1 Quote
galgazza Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Mine has stopped opening and having searched everywhere for someone to look at the the only people to come back to me were Smiths Nissan dealer in Peterborough. Booked in n Friday 13th Quote
herorich Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Hi just replaced my roof (material) and noticed when closed that there is a small gap between the rubber sealing strip at the bottom and the boot at each side. Seems ok in the middle Any ideas how to fix? Can it be adjusted so that it closes tighter? 1 Quote
galgazza Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Mine was an issue with a burnt out motor, old age... The new motor is being fitted by Sly at Kaiser in Rochester.. He knows his stuff so if you can get down to Kent give him a call. I took mine to Nissan and they were as much use as a chocolate poker !! Quote
herorich Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Sorted mine, there are two bolts on each side, visible when 5th bow is up. Losen, pull bow down a bit and re tighten. Result....smaller gap and full seal contact. Happy bunny. Quote
