    Default Frunk Question....

    I'd like to think that I need this explained to me again because I do it only once every year, but it may just be that the old noodle is starting to deteriorate. (Brain F_rt?)

    I've put the Spyder away into winter hibernation in the garage and want to connect my battery tender to it. To get to the connector, I need to remove the interior liner or tub from the frunk, but I don't remember how that's done. Can someone help me out? (I don't want to force anything....)

    Thanks!
    Bert

    Should be able to just unzip it and get to it. Zipper has two pulls and opens up the entire back.

    Remove the push pin fasteners with a thin blade screwdriver (or the correct tool!) and pull out the plastic liner. After you access the battery, do yourself a favor and a run leader out to behind one of the front tires so you have it there when you need it.

    Those push pins really are not needed. Just leave them out after you remove them to have easy access to the battery area.

    Like Johnny Pop said, slip the push pins up and pull out the liner. A couple of star washers under the battery leads to keep connections tight, and lead the fused tender lead out the left and zip tie to the A frame. There is a handy hole right where you need it. DSCN2777.jpg

    I'm guessing you don't have an F3.
    There's no zipper in the frunk on an F3.

    ........and just supporting what AY said earlier, Bert.......I too did not replace the pushpins when I put the frunk back in. Lamont does the same. I have been running for two years like that, and there are no downsides that I have seen. It makes accessing the fuses and battery very easy....

    Tho I have not tried it. Leaving out the pins may cause noise to those of us who never latch the frunk. I don't latch it. Wind keeps it down and sometimes I put stuff in it that's too tall and leave it partly open. Not for rain usage obviously.
