hi scotty! if i remember correctly, there was a tsb out for those vehicles (can't remember the model years) but the older sentra's and maxima's had a tsb stating that the right side of the windshield would leak down the "A" pilars and then work it's way onto the passenger side floor hence forth all the holes on the right side of the vehicle on the passenger front. i remember having to replace a few floor pans in my day as an ex-mechanic myself. thanks for the video!

Bruh my grandmother has had her 2010 Nissan Maxima since brand new she knows nothing about cars and still is running strong to this day with 176k miles and has had no issues whatsoever. She even got t boned by an Audi and the Nissan still didn't have any internal issues. Nissans are great cars. I learned how to drive with her car and I abused the hell out of it slamming on the gas pedal. CVT still going strong. Nissans are great.

I always wondered if the factory spray job went cheap on the clear coat because of the bright white color. And the results I noticed on many makes and models

It spent a lot of time idling too. No timing chain issues either. They’re not money pits if you actually take care of them. She sold it in 2017 for 900 bucks and I still see it driving around.
