Don't like how you have to slam the frunk

OK, then how do you open it? There is no manual latch on the MS to unhook like most front hoods?

Actually there is, but it's on the car side, not the hood side like most cars, and it only unlatches the secondary part. You put your hand in and press down rather than pull up.

Lower the frunk lid till nearly closed, make sure you have no rivets on your back pockets. Turn around and back up to the edge of the frunk and do one quick squat

I use 1 hand on a corner and a knee on the other corner for closing., leaves a free hand for carrying stuff

I prefer putting one hand firmly on each corner of the frunk, quickly leaning forward into a handstand with a 180 twist dismount into the driver's seat via the sunroof.

I used to do it that way but it's just a little showy, I think. And there was that one time I forgot to open the pano. Or that time I was wearing a dress.

YMMV

FMVSS standard 113:



As you can see it's very thorough.

49 CFR 571.113 is the full location.

Thanks for finding that, FlasherZ.

So I don't read anything about the opening or closing of it or that the latch itself can't be power or power assisted. I have no problem walking to the frunk to press the second release--but then give me a power down option that closes on its own and makes the air tight seal. Yes?

I used to do it that way but my wife says I am an inveterate show-off so I had to quit!

Darn! Didn't read forward...Btrflyl8e beat me to it!!!
