Did I just break something? Any idea what part this is?

[chimpster23]

Background
Ceramic coating my car and my arm rubbed against the the Grill / Front Camera area.
Small plastic part dropped down and I can't get the hinge to line back up to the section it connects to inside.
I assume this is a manual frunk access point, but I could be totally wrong.

Question
Has any one else experienced this issue?
Is there any way to fix / lock it correctly in place
I have been driving around with out it

Front camera washer nozzle cover.

It’s the washer squirter for your front 360 camera. I don’t have one since I don’t have 360 cameras. There is no manual frunk release outside of the car. ??

Got it

Good to know thanks! I will try to snap it back on when the windshield washers are engaged.

it's actually kind of a pain to put back on, you gotta have someone in the car do the windshield squirt to get it to pop up so you can snap it in

Ha! Yeah that happened to me last year or so too. No idea how I broke it.

My dealer had to order the part but if I remember it didn’t take too long to install.

Have someone operate the spray grab it when it pops out with a pair of needle nose (stop spraying) and pop the deflector back on.

There is an override to release the frunk from outside though.

Not unless the 12V battery is dead.

Did not mention that it sprays straight out without the deflector . I thought I broke it also (wash mitt wrong direction). It was the 30 second fix and still there after a year. Soap from the right got it.

Sounds like that scene in Porky's.?

You are not the first poking this thing out. I did long time ago. Ford should definitely improve that design.
