This video shows you how to adjust and fix the latch on the front trunk (also known as the “frunk”) on a Porsche Boxster, but it’s almost identical on most Porsche models.

My 2006 cayman s frunk has been super hard to close since the day I test drove it. Good timing on this video! Thanks.
Crisp and concise as always!!
I'm so glad to see you posted this, I just started having this issue on my 04 boxster yesterday!
Thank you for this… the hood on my 2001 Boxster has been requiring more force than I think it should to close. I’m guessing the latch mechanism needs to be adjusted but have been procrastinating on it as I thought it might be a big PIA, now I know exactly what to do.
Cool, I didn't know you could raise the latch. I had the same issue on my 997 and placed a flat pad of plumbers rubber (~1/8" thick) between the hood and the latch plate that you removed. Same result…you raised the latch, I lowered the latch plate (latch strike???).
Useful … do you have a separate channel for 2003 Boxster ? I have one too
I had this problem in my 2001 – hard to latch and release (although it would work eventually). Turned out to be that the latch was just misaligned, like yours.
Just uploaded a video to YouTube as well! Jinx!
