Heh. Whenever it's warm outside, that damn frunk lid hits me on the head.

I've been bashed by both the frunk and the deck lid. I guess that's why I ask silly questions.

It is a good thing that you can still remember that occurrence and not all "John Goodman" after Rosanne hits him with a skillet.

I took a front trunk hood latch to the spine when I was bent over digging the spare and jack out on the way to the Vegas shenanigans a few years back. Agreed, memorable.

Pain to add to the disappointment of a tire being attacked by a pipe...winner-winner. At least you had a valid excuse if you over-imbibed during the Vegas stay!

Last time I was in the frunk before replacing the struts I had forgotten that they were starting to go and the sneaky bastards held it fine for my 60s delay to make sure they are holding. Then they let go just as I was putting my head in the way. The latch caught me right where my spine and skull meet. That was not pleasant...

Ok call me paranoid but I cut a dowel to the proper length to fit each one of the hoods. I was careful that the frunk hood prop fit beneath the latch mechanism so as not to dimple the frunk lid.

A wood dowel to hold up the trunk? What is this, a beater pick up truck? Uphold the reputation of the marque please. And get some proper driving slippers.32wildbilly wrote: ↑Sat Feb 06, 2021 12:14 pm Ok call me paranoid but I cut a dowel to the proper length to fit each one of the hoods.
