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.

12 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does anyone else have to push really hard on the emblem to close/latch their frunk or do I need some adjustment? Thanks, Ralph

POST 2Original post

mine gets and needs the 2 handed push to close but i DO NOT push on the emblem .No the finger /palm prints do not bother me. there are plenty of tinkerbells that carry and use a micro cloth for for such use

tinkerbell checkin in here, boss it's definitely a firm close. The rear is an easy, gravity driven close. The frunk, not so much.

POST 4Original post

Personally, I carry a pack of these in my car under the passenger seat. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sonax-GMBH-C...FUWHve&vxp=mtr These are made in Germany and specially designed for optimum cohesion with the Porsche polymers found in the frunk area of our cars. They come in packs of 15 for only $30.90 with free shipping. I just throw it away after I have used one to close the frunk once. A pack will last around 3 months, so they really are cost effective and a small price to pay given that the Porsche logo on the front of the car is the most noticeable area of these cars.

POST 5Original post

I just use dollar bills then toss them in the trash.😩

POST 6Original post

^ Oh, that's actually even better - less than half the price of my Sonax cloths. I'm going to give that a try.

POST 7Original post

I've found if I first tape over the optical sensor on my automatic garage door, then position the car just so, and put a folded up towel across the front hood, then the garage door closing does a great job of shutting the frunk cover.

POST 8Original post

Mike - My garage door has a rubber weatherstrip across the bottom, so I'm thinking that the towel may not be necessary.

POST 9Original post

My frunk also needed a ton of force (two hands just below the crest) to close, which I realized wasn't normal when I tried on a friend's 986 Boxster S and was able to latch it easily with one hand. I just WD-40'd the latch mechanism and it seems to work a lot easier now. I'd try that before trying to readjust anything.

POST 10Original post

^^^ Using WD-40 as a lubricant? That's just nuts. Veggie and Porschenancy, excellent tips.

POST 11Original post

Quotes source post: 13331433

Yeah, pretty wild. Actually, my initial plan was to dismantle the entire assembly to adjust it, so the common sense approach clearly wasn't an immediately obvious one to me. Common sense is overrated. I'm thrilled though, my frunk is an order of magnitude easier to use now. Perfect for storing the dollar bills used to wipe the fingerprints off.

POST 12Original post

Porsche advised its a tight fit as its air tight! - Two hands
