Frunk

My Chrysler PHEV also forbids towing but I added a under bumper hitch and hid everything but the receiver coming out from the under cladding (Took my time only cutting away only what was necessary.) I did this for a 3 bike Küat rack. I feel it actually looks better/cleaner than the factory option (for the non PHEV version) that I could have installed. Hopefully there will be a 3rd party hitch that is well hidden, but without seeing under the back of the car who knows- could be easier without the exhaust.

If you end up with one with a visible receiver, maybe you can make a fake exhaust pipe to go on it when not it use. Now that will confuse some people!

At least they didn't build the dividers from supplies at Home Depot. That's a win.

hardware for the electronic trunk release includes luggage compartment switch release module gfm relay module hood latch release cable actuator modules involved include apim RFA BCM IPC and gwm. Communication blinds high speed can 1 2 3 4 and medium speed can along with wiring including battery jump port behind front bumper. Imports also include RCM abs Hood ajar switch and SOB DMC. This all taken from online shop manual description of operation. I don't think they're going to let all of this go to waste and leave us hanging with no electronic of the front luggage compartment

probably took less computer power to put men on the moon

They also basically said "yes, it comes with dividers. What you do with your car is your business, not ours" in relation to removing them.

Reminds me of the tags on pillows and mattresses. Take them off at your own peril.

Americans have been putting dumb warnings on lots of things for a long time like the McDonald's coffee cup that says "Warning! Contents may be hot."

Here are a few from http://www.fsteiger.com/warning-labels.html
On a baby stroller:
Remove child before folding stroller.

On an electric iron:
Do not iron garment while wearing.

On Boot's Children's cough medicine:
Do not drive car or operate machinery.

On Nytol sleep aid:
Warning: may cause drowsiness.

On Sainsbury's peanuts:
Warning: contains nuts.

McDonald's coffee cup that says "Warning! Contents may be hot."

https://www.caoc.org/?pg=facts#:~:text=In 1992, 79-year-,for the burns she suffered.

Mcdonald's coffee was routinely kept at near-boiling temperatures at the time. Far higher than it was kept anywhere else or should be kept at (Don't make coffee with boiling water btw, it does horrid things to coffee). Hot enough to cause 3rd-degree burns in 3 seconds. Too hot to drink in fact. In fact, they'd had over 700 cases of serious injuries from their coffee causing 3rd-degree burns ... and chose to ignore them.

Sometimes there's a reason for the silly labels. Other times, companies have to conform to proper standards and put a label on it.

And McDonald's spent a ton of money after to convince people that the lady was dumb and it was all her fault that she was burned by coffee that was way too hot

As a native Texan, there is a lot of truth going on in that cartoon...

This might go in the Modification thread or just PITA fix but I took the frunk dividers out this morning. 8 plastic 'bolts' - pop-up center and whole bolt pulls out. My nephew at a dealer says these are standard parts so easy to replace if destroyed. I don't have little kids so not worried about hide-n-seek disasters. 3 plastic dividers cannot be structural and it looks like center cannot be removed w/o removing sides. Sides can go back in w/o center but not planning that. Yes there are 8 holes in the frunk now, I am considering putting 'bolts' back in but time will tell. Plug/water holding not tested yet. Here is after pic.

How long did it take you to remove it?

Dividerectomy, very tempted. Dividers seemed like a good idea for groceries, but at my first Costco trip, just about nothing fit right.

All the others I've seen have put the plastic push rivets back in. That's probably better than exposed holes.

Plug/water holding not tested yet.

It was never meant to hold water. The drain activates when it senses water.

As I understand it.

Just took about 20 minutes after deciding to pull parts off my new ride. Took longer to resolve to do it than to actually do it.
