Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Funny, I've looked in my frunk a hundred times And never noticed. Son pointed out. Wonder if another Surprise accident. Bad jacking up job or accident?

POST 2Original post

Jacking. My aluminum brace in the rear has jack marks and had a tear I had welded. It ain't hard but many screw it up or don't have a low enough jack.

POST 3Original post

I had a "helper" try and help jack my car at the track one time, he randomly slid it under the car and started flailing away on the handle, luckily the handle was in the release position so nothing happened...

That would've given me a heart attack! I wonder how many times they have done that? I have seen some people really mess up their vehicles with improper jacking techniques.

POST 5Original post

My frunk floor got damaged like that when the village idiot road workers left a gap in the pavement across the road. In the dark.

POST 6Original post

In my opinion, I believe someone hit something like road debris or a high approach angle. I see lots of boxsters with slight damage on the front area of the frunk. The bumper cover in that area also gets torn up. That's one reason I don't tailgate. You'll also find damage on the sides from hitting curbs while turning.

+1. Looks to me like someone drove up on top of a parking curb...

POST 8Original post

I have some distortion in those same areas (it has been a while since I had the carpet off in there but I remember seeing something) and my front bumper cover is scraped all up from the previous owner... It may just be front that.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks everyone. The car aligned so no worries I guess. Funny to me that I am a big picture person and totally looked right by them. Son is detailed oriented and noticed his first time looking in frunk in less than ten seconds. After I lowered car I went out of friends driveway very very slowly. Like snail pace. Heard it start to rub and reversed course. Maybe that was it.
