You need new "thingys". I bought mine from jtabraham on here, who is now selling through Z1 Performance (sponsor). They're a whole lot cheaper than OEM. They have different versions. Polished, for carbon fiber and standard hatches.

Phone up Nissan and order up the OEM thingys, but make SURE you ask for thingys.

Also, TreeFiddy has a link that provides cheaper prices, yes.

Make absolutely sure you ask for the thingys because if you get the doojemaflops you could have serious issues that could void your warranty.

If you pop off the plastice under the hatch (which is kind of a bich) you can remove a lead weight as well as the rear window motor...who needs that thing anyways.

W/ this stuff out the hatch is several pounds lighter and the "thingy's" should be able to hold it up again....at least mine did.

Then you can go to home depot and get a plug for where the wiper went and you have a much cleaner/sleeker looking Z and saved your bung hole from being raped at the dealer for the thingy's.
