Any ideas to help with Front trunk Cable Replacement?
It's broke!? The Grommet that holds it in the bracket Broke in half, so the cable needs replacing. The cable disappears into the console...
Any help with the install, including lots of Pictures and instructions would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.

your model is not listed, but if you have 2014 and up years. (you joined in 12-2021, that might indicate a newer year spyder) that cable goes up to the bottom of key cylinder. i think some early spyders had a manual release, not going to bottom of key

The part is available. .... however putting it on is a bit difficult ..... I suggest you do what I and a lot of other foliks here have done and switch to a manual cable that attaches to the latch arm and just use that ..... IMHO the Key should never have to to be used to open the Frunk ..... as you have discovered they will fail or time ..... Mike

My cables on my 2017 F3 Ltd required lubing as did the fuel cap when I picked. Very hard to operate.
The Precious owner was surprisingly reluctant to fully close the frunk.
I stopped by the first Auto store and bought some spray to get me home.
Now fully cleaned they are silky smooth and operate correctly.
But fitting some pull cables to the seat and frunk is on my to do list for when I do the next Works-burger service.
Previous posts from Kooler2 asking for help have asked what ride but maybe now he will get it sorted.
Maybe the mail is slower up Queensland way. Dunno.
