The first bar? Which one are you talking about? Is that the one with the latches on each side? If so, part # is K1951-6X101. Next one is K8634-6X101. Member nissanconvert might be able to help you. Keep us posted.

I'll try and see if I can get these out of mine, but it'd be really helpful if you could send me a pic of the damaged pieces so I know exactly what I am looking for.

Cool, Loki. Problem is it's not easy to disassemble vert frame. They are riveted and welded, so you might have to use Dremel carefully. It depends on which part it is though.

BTW, do you have this piece in good condition? I'm working on a little project, and I need it. I want one with no scratches, cracks or damage. Do you still have a headliner trim? You said it's cracked, right? It's okay, so let me know if it's still available.



Sorry for thread jack. /

Yeah, I have the headliner still but it has a lot of cracks around the sun visor holes and the light.

That pictured piece doesn't look familiar. I thought verts had just a continuous dash down there? Well, either way, there is no chance I have that part undamaged.

If chunk is not missing, cracks are fine. I can fix the cracks with glue or something.

Kinda chunks missing, but you don't notice them when the sun visors are in. Oh, and a little tiny bit missing from the middle, near the rearview mirror.

You might want to check gaps between window glass and rubber modlings and stuff. You can stop the leak by tweaking, bending and tightening the frames or adjusting window glasses. If you find cracks in rubber moldings, you should replace or patch them with sillicone. Go here and download FSM. You can get some idea what's going on.

Try this first. You see this latch? You tighten it, so you can remove the gap between No.1 bow and this rubber molding. Be extra careful not to break the latch. Spray some PB Blaster before you try it. This should take care of leaks from window frame and No.1 bow.

Most manufacturers relay on a 3rd party to make cars into convertibles. They don't stock the parts forever. These cars are now 15 years old.

It's a custom made tonneau cover.
