TÜV test
During this strict test procedure, the following points are checked and documented:
- Material testing for heating, fire and deformation
- Installation test
- Static load capacity with 20kg
- Dynamic load capacity, driving test with 20 kg load

Material
Selected plastic with special behavior under heat, deformation and fire. The heat deflection temperature is 80°C and the melting point is about 200°C.
HEAT TEST
Sometimes the question is asked whether there is additional heat generation from the built-in frunk, from which a danger could arise? During development, we have dealt intensively with this topic.
In principle, only when charging with AC current (with Type 2 plug or emergency charging cable) is there any significant heating of the AC/DC converter, which is positioned under the frunk.
The following measurements with a thermal imaging camera, with and without frunk, answer this question.

Construction & Quality
The internal quality control checks every single Frunk. Best quality and exact fit is our mission.
When designing the frunk, an attempt was made to make optimum use of the available space. At the same time, specifications regarding temperature development, vibration and charging safety had to be met.

What can I do wrong during assembly?
If you follow the
installation instructions
you are always on the safe side. Before starting installation, the supplied installation instructions should be read.
In addition, we have uploaded a video on YouTube for each product. There we will show you step by step how to properly install your frunk.
Can I break anything when pulling off the engine cover?
Pull the motor cover upwards with a strong jerk. Normally nothing can be damaged here.
Important: Store the cover carefully, it should be replaced before the next inspection. More details can be found in our GTC's under point §11 (3).
Is the manufacturer's warranty affected by the frunk?
It is a car accessory that is not tested, approved or accepted by the car manufacturer. The frunk is already offered by many workshops.
We are not aware of any negative influences on the manufacturer's warranty. More details can be found in our terms and conditions under point §11.
Can the engine compartment heat up due to the frunk?
Tests were carried out at high outside temperatures, and no higher heating levels due to the frunk were detected.
The distance from the AC/DC converter to the frunk is almost the same as the distance to the standard cover. See also under Technology / Thermal image test.
What do I have to consider when my car has to go to the workshop?
Not all workshops are familiar with handling the frunk, which is why the frunk must be removed beforehand and the original engine cover inserted.
This is done in a few seconds and saves possible queries.
Do I have to modify anything on my vehicle?
No! We have made it our principle that nothing must be changed by our products that cannot be undone.
The original condition of the vehicle can be restored very easily.
Does wetness and dirt get into the frunk since it has no lid?
No! When designing the frunk, we made sure that the top edge almost flushes with the hood.
Tests in the car wash, in rain and snow, have shown that no soiling occurs here.
