My moon-roof is marked with AS3 dot 467 M078. Can some please tell me with is the same marking that in the 2004 recall.
- Plantation, FL, USA
The skyview roof in my 2004 Nissan Maxima is leaking water. During a hard rain when the car is sitting still for more than one hour, water will run through the interior lamps onto the interior. This is very annoying to the point that I hates when it rains. I have to place a large bath towel over the dashboard and gear lever to help prevent water and electrical damage! I also the back seat gets wet.

The passenger floor board has rusted through creating a hole about 7" by 14" under the carpet. Nissan was contacted through our local dealer in may and Nissan responded that they would not repair the issue without cost to us. In investigating it is interesting to note that the panel that is rusted out appears to be painted in a green gloss primer when the remainder of the floor is the body color of white. In searching the internet it appears that there are many other Maxima owners with the same issue. The car is garage kept in Ohio, and rarely has a passenger on that side. Car is in my wife's name.
