My Frunk lid won't latch. Finless Bob posted a helpful vid on YouTube suggesting to check rubber seal surrounding it for if it's not down all the way it can cause this. I took the seal totally off and it seem that it's not pushing the latching mechanism in the front storage down for enough for it to latch. Spring in latch is still working, but can't really see what I've got when I close the lid...which I have to do to test it. Any suggestions?

you can adjust the latch on the outside of the frunk

Are you sure the latch is in it's unlatched position? If so, loosen the two bolt and raise the latch up some.

If your worried about riding it tomorrow i would think the air pressure should keep it closed unless you hit some monster pot hole then it might pop up and back down again.

Worst comes; drive where ya need to go the air pressure will keep it closed in route. You can tinker with it later when you have the time and patience:gaah::thumbup:

If you can't fix it in time just tie it down

But on the electic release models I think there is a micro switch that can get bent or misaligned and cause problems. Now if all else fails a piece of velcro or duct tape will secure it while ryding. No security for contents when un attended...:banghead:

Yes the latch is in open position. Thanks for the advice guys.

Unless you encounter rain/snow or other kind's of moisture, driving down the highway will have no issues/effects at all. Work with it at the safest spot you can.

Guys thanks for the tips. Had to make a minor adjustment. Have to set out for San Antonio in a couple of hours which is a long ride from where I live. Already have the Airhawk on the seat.
