I don't have any junk in my frunk, just a weird VW tire thingy.

I was wondering how much easier it is to access the engine with a zeintop?

All I have in mine is a hard to get open little compartment with a can of fix a flat and a rediculous little compressor. There is a cute little spot in it to put my wheel lock key.......

Frunk

I just like the name "Frunk" how many other cars can say they have one of those!

I call the other one the "runk."
I love to open the runk, with people watching, and decide what I'm carrying won't fit and go open the frunk to put it in.
Love to watch the headscratching, trying to figure out where the hell that car's motor is!

I love it when I pull into the employee parking lot at work. Security asks if I even have a trunk. I open the rear one. They have no clue.

It's impossible to access the engine from above with the Zeintop on, unless you have previously removed the soft top (which I have done, and intend to do every winter), in which case the engine access is only a bit more difficult. Otherwise, the Zeintop must be completely removed for engine access, a 10-minute, 3-person job for removal and then again for re-installation.

That is kind of a bummer, I was hoping it would be easier with the zeintop. I am planning on taking my soft top out completely and keeping it as a coupe.

With the soft top removed, access on a Zeintopped car is identical to the Cayman, so it's fine; just not quite as easy as the Boxster.
