Default 2014 Bonnet (Trunk) Release Weirdness

Hi:

I have three 911's ...a 2011 911 Turbo S coupe and a 2014 Carrera S Coupe and 2014 911 Cabriolet Turbo S car....

BOTH the 2014 cars have a strange behavior pattern.......

When I wash them...or wipe them down.... any water or wiping with a damp cloth anywhere near the front emblem...above or below the panel line and the (Bonnet) trunk latch releases...

Anyone have this experience???

Thanks in advance ....

Bill

At least for the 991.2 (and I suspect for the 991.1) this is an expected issue.

The sensor is just to the left/below of the emblem and with the key in your pocket will pop the frunk.

I keep the key in the house when washing the car to avoid this issue.
