Replace cracked front crossbars.

Anyone know where I can get these two bars . I would take aftermarket if they are cheaper. What are they called? Thanks

No it wasnt in a real accident. Just the lower support is rusted through so the hood is not attached tightly so everytime i drive the hood bounces on it. The lower support is being repaired this week and I wanted to repair the upper parts also . There are two different bars on top that are cracked.

I have the same problem starting with mine. I know if you do some searching you can find a diagram that shows exactly what part you need.

Google search Nissan OEM parts. Part#62511, I believe. It's like $100. I would suggest going with OEM only.

That part is the upper radiator support and it was easy to find. I am looking for part #17 in this diagram ( frustrating because everyone i speak to sends me to #62511 )

You could have it welded. At least as a temporary fix. That's probably the route I'll go. Once winter is over and it's warm, I'll replace it.

Yeah except the the point where the front bumper retainer is cracked is cracked it looks very weak and thin.
And welding the upper radiator support is a problem without removing it since the wiring harness runs under it.
