Frunk - difficult to close?

[thealbs]

Does everyone else have to really push hard on the frunk to close it?

Mine rarely closes first time and needs an extra ‘heavyweight’ push on the Porsche badge to get it to close.

If its just mine then I’ll take it back to dealer for inspection.

I think everyone has to do that to push hard on the Porsche badge.
Even the reviewers on videos were doing that.

no..... not at all...
You put the hood down, and you'll hear the electric latch grab the hood....THEN you can push down on the badge with moderate pressure...and it will catch easily....

it's a two step process...

If you're trying to just push the hood down all in one motion, that's not how it was designed...

I actually like how solid it feels and heavy to close. Much better quality feeling than any other EV frunk I’ve tested and have owned.

Thanks @krissrock - this is great advice and solves my issue!

Apparently it's paying homage to the 911 and is deliberately like this... Thats what my deal said when I complained I'm always scared I will damage the bodywork!

Never owned a 911 so can't know for sure.
