I know how it is supposed to work, and have had intermittent frunk latch issue for several months.. I have had several visits to Lucid for service, and have been in contact with their factory service advisors.... I was never told to push harder. -- nor did I ever create body damage to frunk lid as you show..That works when the frunk works normally. However when it's stuck, you have to push much harder to get the mechanical latch to close.
