Default Frunk Lid

Can the Frunk lid be adjusted?
Mine is about an 1/8' high but the rubber stops are all the way in and you push it down
when closed but it springs back up to the stuck high position?
Like the latch needs adjusted lowered?

I just noticed this today the way the sun was hitting it?

Thanks for the reply.
Mine appears to be lined up correctly as far as gaps on both sides but the front sits a little high?
It has enough free play to push down even with the front bumper but does not stay there?
Does that make more sense?

Pull the frunk trim off and lower the latch.

I too have the same issue on my Eray . A friend has an Eray as well and his is about 1/8” lower. If some has knowledge, we would be grateful.

Yep, makes sense. Since you have "plenty of free play but it just does not 'stay there' " the front latch (b) just needs to be lowered.

As @Andybump Pic shows need to loosen front latch bolts and lower. Then tighten bolts! Need to remove the front trim to access.

Default Frunk Lid

My '25 Stingray frunk lid is very temperamental. When opening it with the key fob, it pops up one notch but not fully released. Wait for the beep but still not partially latched. I have to push it down & try again. When closing, it I don't drop it with the right pressure, it won't pull down. Opening & closing takes several attempts before it works as described.
