2004 Convertible touring 350Z. Automatic and I love it. Recently when I attempt to lower the convertible top it stops mid cycle. However! I discovered that if I pulse push the lower button, the top will eventually retract to its housing properly.
Raising the top is not an issue. It raises with one continuous push of the button.
I can live with this but I fear that one day the on and off action of my lower button may cease. Mechanically the top itself seems smooth.
Thank you in advance for any advice.

Mine periodically does the same thing as well. It seems to be most prevalent after the cold season when I haven't dropped it for a while and it's the first time going down for the year when it warms up. My guess is that it's one or more of those pressure sensitive sensors/switches that may be sticking. It doesn't bother me too much so I haven't tried to figure it out.

It tends to sit for a while especially in inclement weather so I must admit it has been a while since I lowered the top. Good question. I will attempt to lower it and raise it more often. I am afraid of getting it stuck so I have not lowered the top very often over the past year.
Thank you

I have a 2004 roadster and I put it up for the winter, going about 5 months without lowering the roof, and I have no problems with lowering/raising the roof when I get it out of storage.

I had this same issue. After lots of searching on here I found there is an elastic type strap on the drive and passenger side between the two bars. After replacing those straps I have no more issues unless I leave her out side in 20 degree weather or less.

I bought 2 arm band holder for my phone at dollar tree. Took elastic straps off and used them. They worked perfect and gave me adjustability so I could fine tune it.
