this is the one i bought and it was able to interface with my car. gave up on the top until next spring, I am worried about using the tool incorrectly and causing more damage. Doesn't seem to be much info on here about how to use it

I had a similar issue. Turns out that one of the rubber bumpers on each side of the top mechanism inside the trunk had broken off. This caused a slight misalignment, which in turn caused the top opening procedure to stop. Replacing the bumper fixed the issue.

Hey, Sorry to hear about you issue, brought back some bad memories
I bought my 2010 vert last year and had nothing but problems, the dealer quoted me the exact same thing, but even then, they weren't certain it would fix the problem.
My problem was, the convertible top would work when it wants, and would stop almost always when closing the top, after the trunk lid opens.
I know the issue your having is a bit different, but I was able to resolve my issue myself.
I got my hands on the Nissan Consult 3 tool, which the dealers use to manually operate the top, and what I found was, on the rear drivers side, where the trunk opens, there are certain parts that have black electrical tape. Some of the tape got old and dry and was no longer sticking.
I cut all the old tape, but everything make together and did a relearn from the Nissan Consult, and that fixed my issue. The tool is an absolute must to own, it makes your life so much easier, rather then having to get it taken to Infiniti/Nissan for every issue.
If you are interested in purchasing the tool, let me know. I can get my hands on some more.
Hope this helps!
