Pretty sure I won't get a response from him, but has anyone else 3d printed this piece and/or know how can I get one?

 

And a few more photos

 

Here is a link to the FSM roof section of the X-cab.

Any chance you can share more info on how to's to remove the top or any links / pics. Thank you for any help on that.

 

I'm having the EXACT same problem as you had. The left side of the back skylight was sagging and both the dealer and another repair shop said I need a total new top $5300 plus labor. At first they thought it was the bungees which were broken, but once ordering and paying for the bungee, the repair shop found the broken clip. Do you still have the CAD for the 3-d printing? Thank you... Jerry

 

We have the same issue!!!

 

Same problem here with left skylight sagging, did you get the CAD for 3-d printing or know where I can get one?

 

Was the 3d file ever released? If so, I'd sure like a copy of the file. Thx

 

convertible top solenoid

I have a problem with my top closing with to much force after rear deck lid closes. The last step of closing brings the front of top crashing down and snapped a snap ring off pin inside front right hand roof and now I have a rattle. Is there a way to adjust amount of hydraulic fluid speed with solenoid valve to slow the roof down. I bought a 2012 Murano CD repair manual on-line but it doesn't include cross-cabriolet model, waste of money. Any good repair sites for this model. I had an Audi A4 and repaired motor(brushes) after dealer told me I needed $1,200 dollar pump, don't trust expensive fixes from dealerships! Thank You, MPO'

 

Thank you so much for posting the pictures and the tips. Very helpful.

 

I am very interested in any video about roof. While NICO still had repair manual available, I saw how to take apart front of roof to put new push-on clasp washer on the pin that fell out. The problem is when I open the roof part way to take out the screws up foreword, the roof closes on me even though the engine and ACC is in off position. Would you recommend a site that covers roof? Thank You for Your attention to this e-mail from me, Mike O'

 

If im understanding you regarding the roof closing with a lot of force..this is very common. I talked with the owner of a convertible top place that has replaced these tops many times suggested I grab the top as its closing to soften that impact which I continue to do. Not sure if that helps you but wanted to give you a FYI.

 

After the rear lid closes, the 2 seconds that it takes for the third solenoid to open lets the pump build up pressure in the system causing the amount of force. If the computer could be programed to actuate the solenoid instantly, the roof would close as deigned.

 

Good afternoon Fearles,

Any chance you'd be willing to do a repair on my 2014? Just got a quote from the dealer on the same sag issue and they want 13k for a new top.

Thank you

 

Hi EMF, alberzerock is the CrossCab top MAN. He is the Guy who ain't afraid to pull it apart and get it fixed right. I would love to see his video on the top. Ask him nicely, he is a good ole' boy who isn't afraid of a little "elbow grease". Good Luck!

 

Now the fun part is the bracket that holds the top upper window is broken on one side, why they use plastic for that baffles me. I've modeled a new mount and will likely print it on of my 3d printers in nylon. Lucky Patcher Kodi nox

Catyra - did you get the opportunity to print your new mount - success? We look forward to your response! Thank you!

 

What kind of car? Because like windshields, dealers may not do tops, so it's worth making a phone call or two to your brand's dealer. A few years ago on a previous car, I called Jeff the service manager at Byers Porsche and he sent me to a shop on the east side but I can't recall the name. It was a dumpy place, but darned if they didn't do an absolutely fantastic job with a Gahh top.

 

Has anyone found a source that sells the replacement fabric top? I'm getting wear holes on each side of the rear window. Thanks!!

 

Some good news for Cross Cab enthusiasts, and owners, I just picked my repaired CC top from a Long Island, NY auto restorer. He manufactured all the necessary repair parts needed for the repair in-house and completed the job in three days. His name is Tim @ 516-938-7373, www.autointeriors.biz. Good Luck!

WOW! I’m impressed!! I need help with my top. Overnight it just stopped working. Won’t go down. Are you up on electrical issues?

 

My top won’t open at all.. 2011

 

Someone can you help my. My 2011 top won’t open at all and when I’m driving the sign is on the dashboard and it just going off.. what can I do for it to open

 

Thanks so much for this tip. They are amazing and I’m so happy to have my car fixed now.

 

All,
For starters how do you manually open the convertible top to access the hydraulic system? I know about the front allen key to release the front connection; but, cannot figure out how to release the rear trunk lid. Also, can't open the trunk bonnet either so no access in to the trunk space itself at this time.

 

For the trunk you should be able to use the key to open it. There is a hole next to the button you would press on the trunk that the key goes into that will manually open the trunk.

 

I appreciate anyone help in opening my car's convertible top!!! Thanks!

 

Yeah, tried that but with top locked down the key doesn't work. There's got to be another way to pop it open manually like the Nissan 370Z. Hoping someone else has had to get in without the key! Thanks!

 

That’s wierd because I’ve opened my trunk with the key even with the roof partly opened. Have you tried flipping the key over. It sounds wierd but i know the first time I tried to open it I had to flip the key over and it popped open. My roof is fixed now thank goodness I was able to find this site and then the repair shop someone recommended.

 

Have you had anyone with specific experience or Nissan training that was real helpful?

 

I got it fixed at AutoMat Customizing & Restoration - Home Page which is in New York but if your not in New York I would say look for a shop that knows how to turn any car into a convertible or does that type of out of the ordinary work if you can’t find any convertible repair shops.

 

I try that... I think the fuse may be blown. But, we've had several issues with the top and window's locking open!!! Thanks!
