I've just learned that the owners of many 300ZX convertibles (like Mike's "Cool Z") have reported the convertible top coming detached from the windscreen frame and peeling backwards at speed, breaking the frame in the process. Apparently a fast turn or a good bump can torque the car body enough to make one side pop off, which immediately takes the other side off, too.

300ZX owners further complain that the Nissan USA dealerships are unable to provide them with any kind of replacement or repair kits for the convertible frames. The tops, yes ~ the frames, no.

Just found this in an older discussion on the CarSurvey.org website:

South London Nissan
1055 Wharncliffe Road south,
London, ONTARIO, Canada
N6L 1J9
519-685-6632

This Canadian Nissan dealership offers OEM factory replacement frames for abt $500.

FWIW,
Frank

Interesting...I had not heard about this Frank, thanks. We don't see many Droptops, but knowing about this is excellent.

Thanks :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up:
