      Garden hose rubber washers may also work.
      Don't put too many in, otherwise it may cause a small dent on the top of the hatch when you slam the hatch down too hard.

    You forgot the door handles will wear out too ! The mechanisms over time will break inside.
    A good hack remedy for the 350 Z is to insert the ignition key and, turn it to the left to lower the windows then, to the right to bring them back up.

    I’ve had my ‘05 Z for 15 years. You are definitely on point with those 5 replacements. Only one I haven’t had issues with has been the gauges. The one thing that has been an issue for YEARS and I’ve ignored has been the trunk release. Thanks for that tip as I will definitely take care of that nagging area. My wife 2nd biggest complaint next to being too low. Thanks Bro

    Accurate list ! Thanks.
    Just like yours, my driver's side window auto up causes window to go all the way up, then halfway down & stop (but window motor still working after 9 years of this)
    .
    -------------
    In 2010, I bought a used 2004 350z Touring for $12.5K
    Issues:
    - Mostly working intermittent subwoofer (now almost always dead). Several videos on CZcams on how to fix it, which is what I just did. It was pretty easy and really missed that wonderful bass!
    - Driver's side window auto up causes window to go all the way up, then halfway down & stop. (but window motor still working after 9 years of this)
    - 6-disc CD changer that died around 2012 with one of my CDs still inside.
    - Replaced the front lower control arms (due to worn bushings) around 2016.
    - Replaced the rear hatch gas struts (hatch didn't stay up) in 2010.
    One just popped out after 10 years. $20 for 2 on eBay.
    - Replaced the rear hatch lift springs (& added pennies) but it still usually requires a push of the release button, lifting the hatch up a bit, then push button again and lift hatch up the rest of the way. Even removed the 4 lb weight & did a rear wiper delete... no diff.
    - Front dash cubby storage door just stopped working and fell off.
    - Hundred little paint chips in the front (bumper area) panel :-(
    - 19 MPG (combined and 25 MPG HWY with 87 octane. Lower with 91 octane).
    But overall, Great bang for the buck and fun to drive !

      Jesse M I'm pretty sure it does not eve require removing anything big. I was at work when my brother and dad decided to fix mine (I have a 2003 model) my brother described it as a sticker he peeled back and found the button to hold for the reset. I would have done it myself but again I was at work, I would suggest searching it, shouldn't be too hard to find
      PS the window acts like this when the car's battery dies or is disconnected, or when the motor really is starting to go bad

    hatch went before the driver window at 170,000 motor, shield went at 125,000, cause when they change the oil at Nissan they take of and the bolts broke. you are right things will go. I have owned a 280z 1979, 1986 300z, 1991 300z and the 350z. these are great cars and the 350 has held up the best thanks to technology

    Good video really helpful in the future 2 years from now I'm either getting a 350z with the HR Rev up engine with a manual transmission or a Scion FR-S

      Insurance on the FR-S is crazy expensive, keep that in mind.

    There’s also the infamous buzz/rattle from cracked heat shields or exhaust components that drives you nuts
