About 2 hrs with taking extra time to trouble shoot minor issues.for all you 1st time installers, roughly how long did it take you to install? i wont have a chance to install mine till Friday afternoon or sometime Saturday.

One thing I did different. I removed the top strut first, then used a 13mm wrench to loosen lower strut mount and unscrewed with my fingers vs trying to get a tool in and remove the lower strut first.Same, about 2 hours.
The hardest part was removing and replacing the struts - the location is tight. I started late at night and ran into Hood Latch Sensor warning so It spilled into next morning to troubleshoot.

I plugged the brown plug in and unplugged to move the motor and it wouldn’t go back in. The purple plastic inside the plug shifted, so had to fix that and one of my strut connector pins bent when initially plugged in.what kind of minor issues? so i can keep an eye out for these as well.
what ended up being the problem with the hood latch sensor warning?

Guys. In the middle of my install on my model s. (3.0 version/latest for the s) but I think my questions will apply here.
Two issues: I initialized and got the beep. I also tested by manually closing the latch (with hood open) and activating the emergency Frunk button. Latch releases successfully. However
I can’t get hood to close. Only moves down about 1/2 inch then stops when I activate the frunk button on the fob. Also, pulling on the emergency manual wire doesn’t appear to do anything? It moves a tiny bit outward from the motor when I pull it, but if I manually latch the latch, pulling the manual wire doesn’t release the latch like I assumed it would.
Amy thoughts?
Thanks. No obstructions for sure. Will go and closely examine pins now.First, check for obstruction or anything that hampers hood/strut movement. You should be able to move the hood freely, up or down. J from earlier post found bent connector pin on one of the struts, check connections.
