They should since it seems to be an on going problem from the factory. They're simply putting too much grease in the tracks.

I have had my Z in 2 times for the window grease problem. They still have not been successful on the driver side window, and now the glass RATTLES when the window is down. I talked to the service manager today and told him that I will give them one more chance to resolve this problem before I demand a whole new door. I don't care if they need to remove a door off a car on the lot, this problem WILL be dealt with...



BTW the dealership is Bommarito in St. Louis

Just got my windows grease streak fixed today. My car is the 1st one that they fix. Drop my car in @ 11am and didn't get it back after 5 hours. But I'm happy with the result. No rattling and no more grease streak.

Cool grease streaks

Thanks for the tip
I picked up my Z two weeks ago, and saw the streaks on the first day. also saw somewhere else in the 'net that other people had the same problem.
Appreciate the news.

Default Window streaks

I had my dealer fix the problem, but now I have had to return twice because they have mis-adjusted both windows and they leak. My passenger window still leaks, and they tried to pass it off as a Hi Pressure Sprayer problem.

Love the car, but too many little problems at 18k.

Bought my car in December. Had it in twice before the TSB came out in April. The dealer ordered the parts, had my car for 3 DAYS, and was told it was fixed.

Now I have the problem with the window drop and return. Nothing major except that hits the roof when we open the doors. Thank goodness no leaking. The dealer is trying to pass it off as another whole part, something completely different.

I just read the TSB and it says "You must adjust the door glass after is is reinstalled. Otherwise, it may hit the roof when the door is opened and closed."

Sounds like to me that the Serv. Techs are not reading the TSBs. It sounds pretty simple to me. The fix for the grease marks caused the timing of my window problem.

I have had it in for 5 times and it is still not fixed. Still getting grease marks and all.

Forget requesting new doors, I'll get an attorney and have them buy it back due to lemon law. I have done it before. You have 18,000 miles or 18 months to have it done. The problem can be as simple as this one. You have to have it in the shop 4 times.

I wonder if everyone starting do this maybe Nissan will sit up and pay attention. I am even thinking about getting in touch with Car and Driver Magizine.

I even called (800) Nissan1 and talked to a Consumer Affairs Specialist. They gave me a file number and said they would help me with this situation. Left many messages and have never heard back from them.

CLick on the Resources button on the top of the page (under the My350Z logo). All the TSB's are listed there in PDF format.
