Handle the handles & sit on the seats!

I prefer one or two fingers on the black strip to close the door... no need to finger the paint or the glass haha.

The first time I went to look at a Boxster I tried closing the frunk by dropping the hood. It didnt go so I tried it again. And again. I then started slamming it and it still wouldnt close. WTF?? My first thought was welp, this things a POS, the damn hood wont even close.

The salesman guy (at a Mazda dealership) told me to just push on the crest and voila, it closed...

I didn't buy that car anyways. It looked like a badger or a women with long fingernails attacked the interior.

Just sprayed the latch with WD-40 when my frunk was really hard to close. Fixed it immediately.
Had to get used to the Porsche latches, though. I'm used to Saab latches, you just let the lid drop a couple of inches and it locks with a nice sounding thunk.
