Default Squeaking Frunk Latch

I have a small squeak coming from my front end. At first I thought it was some kind of suspension issue but it is coming from the middle of the car. After doing some research here and at Pelican Parts it seems that this noise is probably coming from the frunk latch. That makes sense since it is coming from the center of the car and not from where the suspension actually is, the wheels. The solution is "retorque the frunk latch".

Okay, how do I do that? I assume it is the bottom latch not the fixed top piece. And anyone know what the proper torque setting is for that? Thanks.

They can only be small bolts so simply tighten until you can't tighten any more by one hand. A good snug fit, as I don't know if there is an actual torque setting for a small bolt/screw. Then put grease on both parts and you should be 'good to go'.
