You must be new to Porsche. We call the trunk a trunk. You’re showing that you’re new to Porsche. Been a Porsche pilot since 1974.

 

Yep you are right pretty new, I got my first one in high school.

In 1989. 😂

 

Me too I guess. Only been a Porsche owner since 1984 (40 years) when I was 15 and bought a 914. Being mid-engine, that car had a front trunk and a rear trunk, so a Frunk and a Trunk. Frunk is pretty common parlance around here for a Front Trunk.

 

Thanks Bruce. Worked like a champ. No problems swapping at all. 5 minute job and makes a big difference.

 

My hood struts were getting a little tired, so I ordered a set from Amazon and installed them this afternoon.
Massive improvement.

One tip: When removing the old struts you can insert a small flat head screw driver or sturdy pick into the spring clip at the back of each cup mount and then pry the clip off.
The strut then pulls off with no resistance. If you look at the replacement strut it's pretty self explanatory. There's even a little indent where you insert the screwdriver/pick.
The new ones pop in with a simple push. As noted, 5 minute job max.

 

I went with OEM but the job is pretty easy. I used a pick to get the clip off. I can't believe how much better it is. Mine would stay up but not always. I doubt it works correctly now.

 

Trunk, Frunk, Forward Storage Area. They all work.....

 

Killed 32% of my remaining brain cells today when the hood latch tried to punch through my skull. New struts ordered.

 

Ma'am, shove it in the frunk and get over yourself.
