Watch where you try to grab when you try to break a fall
Yesterday I found out that the hood of the frunk will not help to break a fall but will instead be broken when any weight is applied to the hood. Short story, I had to order a new hood. I was reading my manual (on the seat) to find out about charging the battery on my 2016 RTS and and tripped by my left front tire when looking into the frunk to unzip the liner to look into the battery compartment. As I was falling, I held out my right hand to break the fall but it landed on the open hood and as a result three of the plastic holes were broken. Lesson to self: don't have a fall with the frunk hood open.

I always thought that frunk lid had a menacing look when it is open.

The next challenge will be what to do with the old lid. I'm thinking it might make a pretty cool sled this winter.

SLED?!?! Maybe for a "Gnome". How about a cookie tray for the holidays?

Do wonder....
as the lid did nothing for your fall but cost you did you manage to have a soft landing and not hurt yourself too much...?? It is pretty flimsy up around there...
