There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Bob good job! I would caution about using an adhesive though as it would make it difficult to access the fuses.

thanks
A good lesson on the problem. I would of never thought about the gasket being loose.

Yep..... thanks for pointing that out! I guess I just have to remember to NEVER force the frunk lid closed! If you have to do that, you have too much junk in the frunk or the rubber is off.

Bob, you may also want to hit up SpyderPops for his frunk replacement weather strip. It seals better and has far less if a chance of slipping off. Thanks for the video.

Bob if u use a little contact cement on the rubber and in the rail given time to tack up than re position the rubber and re seat it, this will adhear the rubber gasket to the frunk rail and keep it from comming loose again.

Once again.............................excellent advice! I'm calling BRP though......................the electric latch on mine has never worked worth a :cus:.

It would be interesting for an electric latch to work on an RS...since there isn't one. :lecturef_smilie:
For legitimate concerns, calling BRP isn't going to help. Your tech has to deal with it. There are two things that are essential...a microswitch whose arm is intact, not bent, and is properly positioned; and proper adjustment of the latch. You also need to have the liner (if equipped) and the wetherstrip installed correctly. A good tech can deal with all this. If yours has been unable to do so, you may wish to try another dealer.

Not so lucky for me! Mine stays stuck! With the engine running in will open by the switch. Without, I have to push down on the frunk to open just like the video showed. It will not even closed by dropping it as shown in the video. The weather strip appears to be all the way down. Who knows????

See your dealer.
2010's only open electrically when the engine is running, but the 2011's onward open just with the key just turned on. The trunk should open with the key if you press downward then turn counter-clockwise. You should feell the resistance of the cable and latch when you do this. If not, you are either not following the procedure correctly, or your cable has come loose or broken.

Agree! Makes no sense that the engine must be running to open it other than maybe engine vibration helping it to unlatch.

Misunderstanding! It does open with the engine off. What I was trying to say is that after I turn the key I still have to press down on the frunk with the engine off. Engine on just hit the switch and it is open. So what I am reading here is that this is normal for a 2010 model???? That is to have to press down on the frunk to open while the engine is shut off?

The button will not work unless the key is on. It does not have to be running though.
My guess is the engine vibration is helping it to unlatch with the button which is why it appears to work when the engine is running. The key is manual and pulls a cable. If you have to press down on the lid to make that work, then double check the rubber and make sure it is well seated. Otherwise your latch or hinge needs adjusting possibly.

Excellent Video Bob---thank you so much
Thank you Bob!!!!
This is one of the best and thorough DIY videos I have seen on here. Wish there were a lot more of these available to all of us.
You have saved a lot of us headaches and frustration. Since my wife uses the Frunk 99% of the time I'll make sure she knows of this information.
Again thank you so much for your insight and making and posting of this great DIY Video! :clap:
