Is this the correct attachment point for the frunk handle spring? It doesn't look right to me, but I can't see where else it would go. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
 Thanks. |

That's not it. There is no spring related to the handle. The spring action is handed within the latch itself. If yours isn't returning, you've got an issue with the latch and/or the cable routing and housing getting from the handle to the latch.
You're welcome to come by and check out my car. I also have a couple latches and handles, in the event you need a replacement(s). |

Tygaboy nailed it, Just another typical DAPO “improvement” to band-aid a sticky cable or latch mechanism rather than addressing root cause. Put it in the bin! |
