I just finished installing the EvOffer v5 power frunk kit. Installation kinda went as expected (strut removal/attachment was the only tricky part), but one thing I found frustratingly vague was where to place the latch motor.
The kit came with some adhesive pads but they were not called for anywhere in the official installation video or instructions. Rather, the official video said basically to stuff the motor into a cavity near the left wheel well, and cable tie it to a big cable there. They kinda glossed over it, especially considering the shape of the motor isn't exactly conducive to zip tying it securely...
Here's the spot in the video where they show it:
I'm worried the motor may slip out of the zip tie, or vibration may cause wear to the cable it's tied to. Where did other people mount it? The motor has various tapped holes and such that make it look like it's designed to be mounted more permanently...
