X Frunk is stuck!

[moojimmy]

What's the trick to get it open? It unlatches when I press open but it only opens about an inch, maybe less. I followed this thread and watched the video.

Frunk won’t open

for weeks now my frunk will not open. I can hear the electric control move at the latch, but will not open. No manual override! Customer service was notified last fri. 10/21 (after a 45 min. hold) and said Mobil service would call mon.or tue. Not. I called again wed, only a 20 min hold this...

But there is barely any room to get a L shape torx wrech in. Any other trick?

I got my gym bag and work laptop inside!!! It's 8PM and no mobile service!

Can you try lifting it and then click the button to open it again? Maybe if you have upward pressure on it when the latch cycles it'll pop open?

Lifting it while it's locked then click the button? Or after it's open then lift it? I tried lifting it while it's open but doesn't work.

Occasionally happens to me and I press the fob button (or phone open) while standing there and lifting it a moment later.

Stopped by the service center this morning. The advisor quickly showed me how to get it to open with the "sticky" frunk. He said the newer S/X seems to have this issue. Basically as I hit the open button on the app, as soon as the frunk pops then you pull up immediately. Although he said it's not a normal behavior so he was kind enough to take my car in (w/o an appointment) to get it adjusted and replacing my wheel fender garnish crack at the same time. Even getting me a loaner.

Wait isn't that (underlines) exactly what I suggested?

Hi @scottf200 - I tried lifting it "a moment later" but didn't work. What the service advisor did was a 1 motion - As soon as the hood pops he pulls it up as it pops. He said there will be a feeling of stuck but just pull on it it'll open.

Thanks for that. Indeed as soon as I hear it then I lift. My "moments" are pretty short. Glad you had success.

I get my fingers ready on the edge of the hood so that when it pops I can continue the upward motion and open it.

I had the same problem with my '22 PY today, which seemed to have frozen shut from the freezing slop on the roads. Tried twice to open it so I could fill the windshield washer reservoir, which was low, but it would only go far enough to get a few fingers in. When I tried it hours later at home, then it worked fine.
