Default Sasha, my 04 350z, is pissed off. Interior parts breaking left and right PICS!

Hello all,

Sasha and I met 3 years ago and it has been a long and steady relationship. I always put high quality oil in her and gave her a good rub from time to time.

This past week it seems she has taken a turn for the worse. It seems every time I sit in my car something new breaks in the interior. So i'm just asking for your help on the best way to fix these issues, and give Sasha a second chance. lol

The elbow spot: Can I just buy this piece?

The center console: It appears I can buy just that door piece and attach it back in since the swivel motion thing still works. Where would I find just the door thing?

The cup holder: This thing has been screwed for some time but is their any way to fix it?

Knee pad spot:

I also have an issue with my front windshield wipers. The fluid doesn't come out unless I literally pump the switch and it squirts out with little if any pressure. But the rear fluid pump works fine.


I searched and couldn't really find any answers to my problems. I am sorry if they have already been posted but couldn't find them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would love to enjoy Sasha as if it was the first day taking her home from the dealership.


Thanks again all,

-Matthew

damn...i have an 03 i've had for years and it doesn't look anything like yours. You sure do have alot of scratches. The door pad on mine has done the same as yours though. I recovered it but i am not happy with how it came out. I'm also trying to figure out a solution. I called nissan and they don't make that part seperate you have to buy the whole damn door panel.

You can purchase and replace parts sure. Look at the parts catalogue online.

I have a door panel for you I'll let go for almost nothing... but I wont be back for 2 months. My car was owned by a woman with dogs and cats... hair everywhere, what looked like vomit under the pass seat, feet marks on dash... but nothing was damaged like your car though.

I picked Sasha over a couple other 350's with less miles but all the others had been beat up with mods. Sasha's previous sugar daddy took her to the dealer for EVERYTHING and it was all shown to me through the dealer. The only downside was that the cup holder was half broken and the center dash seemed to be previously attacked by a wild cat.

Sasha currently has 90000 miles and bought her with 49000. She is holding up like a horse but you caught her on a bad day.

lol

Thanks for the help everyone.

04's came with the flip up cubby and black center dash. Your nozzles probably needs cleaning on the wiper arm.
Replace with used panels.

From the 2006 Owners manual -

If necessary, clean the windshield washer
nozzle A with a needle or small pin B .

I went to courtesyparts.com to look for the door elbow pad but they don't have it available at least according to their site. Does anyone know how to get a hold of one.

Buy 3 square feet of black vinyl and 3M spray adhesive from AC Moore or some other arts and crafts place, take off the door panel, remove the arm rest and recover it. For the other parts, buy them used.

To repair the door, use a dremel to knock down the broken screw mounts, get a piece of 1/4 inch aluminum stock, cut it to fit inside that area, drill holes through the places where they are needed, glue it to the inside of the door, and run self tapping screws into it through the bracket.

Just an idea...
