Do not push the crest when closing the front trunk of Porsche

Where to press when closing the front trunk of Porsche

It's been about five and a half years since I first owned a Porsche 911, and during that time I've been riding the 911 almost every day.

There was something I didn't know about Porsche until now. No, this is too ignorant (laughs).

What it is is "How to close the front trunk" in Porsche 911 etc.

When closing the front trunk, you have to push the bonnet somewhere because it will not close properly unless you push it tightly from the top at the end.

Where are you all pressed? ?

I was pushing from the top of this crest all the time.

This makes it difficult for your hands to stick to the body of the car (if your hands do not protrude from the crest, they will not leave marks).

I was convinced that Porsche was saying, "When you close the flank (front trunk), use this crest as an index of where to push."

But! ! Only.

The other day, I happened to close this Frank in front of a Porsche sales person, but when I saw that I pushed this crest part and closed the trunk, the sales person said, ``Don't push the crest. "When.

e? Shouldn't you press here (crest) to close it? ? I thought, but the correct answer was actually to press the lower part of this crest.

There was a good reason.

When you open the front trunk, there is a lock first, so if you don't remove it, the trunk won't open.

Here are the parts that are locked

That's right, the part where this part is attached is just below the crest, and that's where it has the most strength and where it should be locked.

I see.

If you press the crest part, it seems that the crest part may be dented, so please be careful!

After hearing this, I'm still not used to it, but now when I close the trunk, I push the bottom part of the crest.

The only problem is that if you press here, you'll leave marks on your hands.

Especially from now on, I will be applying hand cream more often, so the marks on my hands will definitely be clearly visible.

At this time as well, I pushed the lower part of the crest to close the trunk, but can you see the marks of my hands? I've increased the contrast so it's easier to see ↓

If you get marks on your hands, you can wipe them with the microfiber cloth that is always in the trunk, but since the cloth is in the trunk, wipe off the marks from your hands and close the microfiber cloth in the trunk. When I close the trunk again... it's not after! !

That's me who repeats stupid things (laughs).

Just in case, when I checked the manual of Porsche 911, there was also a proper note that "To close the trunk lid, press the area directly above the lock part with the palm of your hand."

Hmm.

in the palm of your hand? ?

In order to apply force, I often press with my hands in a clenched shape. !

I wonder if that's the case (laughs). I would like to try it next time.

In any case, if someone like me is pushing the crest when closing the front trunk of Porsche, please be careful ^ ^
