Default Frunk open warning

I have a 2021 Stingray, so prior to the soft close feature being added. I would say about 30% of the time when i open and close the frunk with the vehicle off, when I get in and start the car it gives me a warning that the frunk is open and won't let me drive. I know for sure that I have closed it, making sure to engage both clicks. I end up having to get back out of the car, pop the frunk open and reclose it. Never happens when the car is running. Anyone else have this issue?

I'm guessing perhaps the switch isn't being activated all the time due to more or less pressure when closing the frunk with the second push.

Default crazy perhaps but....

I'd get a can of compressed air like we use for cleaning computer keyboards etc. and blow out the female socket. And blow out + wipe down the spring male post. Maybe debris is intervening with a good sensor connection. Certainly the price is right.
