Powered frunk won't open or close as latch too strong

[eiger3970]

I installed a powered frunk and at the maximum settings (which are a bit frightening when it slams) opens and closes maybe 10% of the time.
This can't last or be right.
I cleaned the hood latch whilst installing, so there's no lubricant on the latch, which I might try.
More pertinent, I don't fully understand the install instructions how to adjust the latch. If you understood how things move and effect the system, I would be more confident.
There's a little pull wire to be adjusted, but don't really understand what it does.
The instructions say it pulls a lever to the left, but I would have thought the centre needs to be clear for the hood latch to slide down?

Sprayed Lithium Grease over latch. Bonnet seems to open okay. However closing leaves strange noises with the latch motor which I'm checking up with the manufacturer.

I have Smartesla opener. Mine had same issue until I adjusted the force setting. They also recommended putting original spring back in when it wouldn't open properly.
Check that you are attached to solid ground also.

The latch force may not be issue; I had this issue and I tried everything even changing firmware for stronger latching etc.. Only for the fix for my problem was adjusting the actual striker on the hood itself to the left a little...loosen the two screws and there’s some play to move left or right so it land and closes properly..

Double Latch or Single latch? Either way, try to adjust the softclose latch (should have two screw on nuts to adjust)

Also adjust the latch itself bolted to the hood. I had to slide mine slightly forward to get a good latch.

Single latch.
I'm in touch with the after sales support, hopefully they can fix it.
