Thanks for that. so the actuator is the part that jams into the top of the latch and runs out towards the drivers side, and if i peel away more of the frunk liner i'll see it running to the corner of the compartment where the magnet that engages it is found. great. i can look at that. but the cable coming from the bottom of the latch and running the same direction is still a mystery. one thought I have is that the same part was used in a number of models (and in vw's for all i know) and that cable might be used in something besides my year/model boxster, which is why it isn't shown there (and didn't exist on the original -00 part which has been superceded by this -03 version). can anyone confirm?
