911 Snake Posted 31January, 2018 Report Share Posted 31January, 2018 Can you simply disconnect the battery terminals and leave the frunk open if you're not using the car for a while? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently just need to disconnect the negative cable: https://www.edmunds.com/car-care/how-to-prep-your-car-for-long-term-storage.html But perhaps put something under the trunk lid so it can’t get closed accidentally as it will be a major hassle to get it open again to reconnect the battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely need to make sure the frunk won't fully close and put some kind of make shift spacer there to prevent it from locking if pushed down!!! cheers!

A sponge in between the bonnet and latch does the trick and won't damage anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
