When i first bought the car, the only thing that i noticed was wrong was the fairly loud wind noise coming from the sunroof. When looking at other people's cardomain pages, i ran into housecor's page which showed how to fix that noise so i went ahead and tried it. The result wasnt perfect but there is a great improvement. All i did was went to the nissan dealer and bought 4 87 cent parts called shims that raise the sunroof up so that it sits flush and the wind noise is decreased.

Actual Part:

Here are instructions on how to fix it:

1. Open the sunroof sunshade and look at the two screws located in the back two corners of the sunroof. Use a phillips-head screw driver to remove the screw:

2. After removing the screw, remove the plastic clip underneath that shown in the picture below:

3. Pull the plastic covering out and down to remove:

4. Loosen the gold bolt and insert of take out as many shims as needed to make your sunroof sit flush.

nice 5th gen, you have real good taste in mods. real clean ride. you should try some hyper white 194 LED's in the side markers, it makes a big difference in nighttime appearance. 5***** come rate and comment my 7th gen, thanks.
