I have the new actuator now, but can't seem to find clear instructions as of how to chage it.
Is the change of the actuator done from inside the front trunk, under the car or first removing the bumper or...? Any help would be most appreciated

It's inside the trunk on the driver's (left) side towards the front. You'll have to peel back the carpet. You do not need to remover the bumper cover.

At 1:45 it shows exactly where the actuator motor is located.

Fron trunk actuator is now changed - it took probably 15 minutes to do and it is fantstic to see how great it works. Intermittent operation reason was the faulty / tired actuator.

Thank you all for advice!
