Hansshow Power Frunk: Tesla Model 3 (2022) DIY Install

0:07Alright, today we got a Tesla Model 3.

0:27This is a 2022 and we already started with some of the mods.

0:30We had the spoiler in the back.

0:32Next up is we're going to do the power frunk.

0:35Now what is a power frunk?

0:36Essentially, when you open the frunk of your car, it would be like any normal car.

0:43open it and then you would have to use our hands to pull it up and then the dampers take

0:46control of it. Let's just demonstrate that real quick. See? You just pull up and then

0:53you have those two gas struts right there that helps. But what if you need to close it?

0:59Now if you have to close it you have to do this. You have to do this. And you have

1:05to. Oh, it hurts my feelings doing that. And now you have fingerprints. If you have OCD

1:13not want to use the frunk, but hey, if you had a power frunk, like a power lift gate

1:21in the frunk, then you can put all your whatever, if you had like food or something like that

1:27groceries, and you say, hey, it might stink up the interior, you put it in the frunk

1:31and you're good.

1:32Now what we have here is the Hansshow power trunk power frunk core technology.

1:39This is the frunk.

1:41It's really nice.

1:42These are like the second gen,

1:43like the fourth generation actually,

1:45so they really tuned this to be something else.

1:49And the install should be relatively easy.

1:52All right, so the tools you're gonna need is a 10 mil

1:56to take some bolts out.

1:56You have a flat head.

1:59I actually don't have the flat head right here,

2:00but it's something to pry open stuff.

2:02So whether it's a flat head screwdriver

2:05plastic trim tool that's what I want to use the needle nose you're gonna

2:08need to use for a spring and then this is just like a cutting

2:11tool so I have two cutting tools and to cut and zip ties and miscellaneous items.

2:17But yeah nothing too crazy you really just need these two and maybe like a

2:20flathead and you'd be set. I'm gonna use some power tools so it'd be quicker.

2:25Color it. Looks fine. All right to remove the trunk.

2:30There's just going to be some tools that you don't even need, you can just use your hands.

2:35You want to start with these plastic trims and they're just held by these plastic clips.

2:42These cars are generally new, so these plastic clips are very new, so you're not going to have it brutal.

2:50Set this to a side.

2:53here next off we have some exposed things we can work on I believe we're

3:01gonna have to remove this piece right here and you actually see some exposed

3:06bolts straight up so I've got to remove that too and I'm gonna show you guys

3:11how to do that but you have before you remove this big piece remove this

3:17the air filter, and it just helps. Okay, just in this time period. This one was even

3:23hooked on, okay? I'm gonna test the quality. I didn't even clip that one on. I hate to

3:29see it, folks. So there you go. You have three mounting points. You got two out of

3:35three. And then we use our 10 mil to remove. I'm gonna tell you where all the

3:44So there are 1, 2, 3, 4, there's 4 right there, and then there's only one up top here.

4:12About 6, but it looks like maybe they changed it before maybe it's under here, just pull

4:20on this, there you go.

4:23So you just, what I did right there, you see I'm just using my hands, you just pull this

4:26up and this will reveal the other two

4:28two.

4:29So there's seven of these bolts in total and to remove this is pretty easy.

4:34There you go.

4:43Put this somewhere safe.

4:45We're going to put it right here.

4:47Let me show you.

4:49Alright, so we have those seven bolts removed.

4:52So the next thing we do is gently flip.

4:55I haven't even used in years I've just used my hands and yeah, I have been told

5:00in there, you can take them out if you want. a little fish it out. now the side piece they

5:09hold like clips. you might have to put them on the side. alright so my microphone quality

5:16should sound better. my microphone is actually facing me now. but yeah check this out right

5:20here. we're gonna replace these dampers right here. now if you see at the very

5:25top. There's this little metal tool, like little metal clip. You want to pry that open.

5:30Demonstrate that for you guys right here. You want to go whoop. You just pull it out.

5:37You see that? You're pulling it right out. Now there's one on the top, one on the bottom.

5:42The bottom one's exactly the same. And after that you're going to put this bad

5:47boy in here. And you see how this is, I had actually twist it, but you can twist

5:52it, but. You have this one pointing here and then the bottom one is pointing the

5:58opposite direction and you want the wire to actually go in. So something like that.

6:04This is how you ideally want it. So I'm gonna demonstrate that in real time and

6:09see how it goes. I'm gonna do the I'm gonna do the bottom one first because it's

6:15kind of like difficult to reach usually you want to hit the more

6:20difficult part so like watch. I took that off. Looks like it's being held on

6:24its own, which is perfect. So you want to one side of the time. Sometimes the struts aren't

6:30strong enough so you kind of have to use your head which I was doing earlier

6:32to make sure it doesn't fall and you get a concussion. But it looks like these struts

6:38are strong enough. Boom. You have your struts now. You want to keep this

6:43safe just in case you revert back to stuff. So we're gonna put this, we'll

6:48put it in the

7:22supposed to change the brackets so this is I'm gonna probably show this beforehand

7:26but I'm gonna take out the OEM brackets probably easier

7:30to take the shred out first but we're having problems with that so let's take it out how it is there's

7:45two bolts there and then two bolts not a lot of installs actually have this so that's why we

7:51didn't do it but for this you gotta it wasn't closing for us all right so we got the L brackets

8:04there's a number L on it and you want to install the new bracket in so usually original

8:11hardware to screw it in

8:22I'm going to do it loosely for now

8:25and then you want to install these ones, of course, too

8:28there's just two bolts

8:30be careful, you don't want to lose these bolts

8:33because

8:35it will take a lot of time finding these bolts of you

8:43which I, I might do right now, because this is a really about angle.

8:53All right, so the next thing we want to do here

8:55is with the directions,

8:57says we should remove the latch mechanism.

9:01So we have it right here, I'm trying to remove it.

9:06Keep these screws safe.

9:14All right, so we're gonna replace the spring right here,

9:17which is right here.

9:19Now you can keep the OEM spring

9:20if you don't have a needle nose

9:22or if you want the OEM part,

9:24but we're gonna basically

9:24essentially replace it with this.

9:26The aftermarket one is smaller in like gauge death.

9:31So maybe maybe it's a little bit weaker,

9:34but because of that intention, it's quieter.

9:37So we're going to remove this bad boy.

9:39Hopefully I don't pinch myself.

9:41There we go.

9:52So I took that part out.

9:54Okay, I was scared that this thing was going to fly out my eyes, but it was pretty.

10:00pretty tame pretty tame it's not reporting the new one in

10:26let's see if I can do it right now the latches locks I don't know if I can pull

10:29it all the way back but the car thinks it's closed all right so I actually

10:40had to undo the spring because when I'm putting this mechanism on which is

10:45it helps with the soft close. The direction says you want to have this little piece right

10:53here kind of go up like this. I'm going to put this spring on top of that to kind of

11:02help secure it. After that done, you should be okay. That's the motor and you can kind

11:19to see how it works. It pulls down this latch to help unlock the lock. Then we're going...

11:25We're going to install it. Something like this. And we should be all good to go.

11:31Alright, so we got the mounting system for the frunk latch on. We have those two struts

11:37on right now. And then we have this computer. This is how everything is

11:41is going to talk together. Make sure it's working nicely. So the box itself is just

11:45one big harness that like feeds into this one thing. So where it's just right there.

11:53So you pretty much have to power every single piece.

11:57There is a lot of wires and it gets kind of confusing

12:01so I'll make it as easy as possible. So just unravel it and do it one at a time.

12:08time the first thing we should do is something simple, let's get the struts powered, the struts

12:25have these two little wires come out of it and you can't mess it up because

12:29Thanks for watching!

12:30It's like Legos, it only clips to the right one.

12:35So you just put these bad boys in, boom, and boom, alright, you already got two.

12:48the same with the other side, alright, so we have the new lithium-ion ones and pretty much

12:54there is no 10mm that you can screw on, so in this case all we did was use this

13:00cap and we put the, it sounds like pretty good, but we put the red terminal into here.

13:09It's the wire with the fuse and it's on there really good where it's like super tight.

13:15So it's on, it's on there really good. And then next off what we need to do out of the harness.

13:21So these, there's these extra ones which I'll show you guys where to go for those.

13:25Then there's the ground one. You can just pick one of these ground spots. I think this

13:29This one's like the usual to go

13:46So what you do is you basically use this as a washer and there you had right there now if you have a normal battery not the

13:51I don't want you just use this you do the same thing with that wire

13:54Alright so we got pretty much a few cables left, two dinostics pretty much, and we're

14:03are, have to figure out one by one which one it does.

14:06The first one you want to get, that's pretty easy to see, is the one in the latch.

14:11So you pull this, then you pull it out, this one looks like it, so you plug in this,

14:19hoping it would fit. It doesn't. Of course. It does. And then you want to use that end

14:28right there to put it back into here. So now the wire is basically right in

14:37between the two. Which is exactly what you want. Alright so then there's this

14:43you see this little like little hose thing right here. It's kind of

14:45hard to see. You might have to make it a little bit right. It looks good.

14:48you pull this out by just pulling this tab up and then look the wires look the same that's good

14:55so there's like a little y shape so what you want to do is

15:01Put this in here, and then the new Hansshow harness into the Tesla

15:09All right, and then you have this plug right here

15:14Goes into

15:16the new the new latching system our

15:20Right, so we pretty much have everything plugged in besides two

15:24now this one is the OEM switch button we're actually going to now use the

15:32Hansshow one which is this one so we don't have to worry about that one but this one

15:36needs to be plugged in as well and that's a pretty chunky look in cable this

15:43one right here we're gonna plug it in boom set that to the side and these

15:53things are pretty good. In terms of water resistance and water proofing, I'm going to plug in this bad boy.

16:02Now to do that, you might have to pull on this tab.

16:14And then you lock it. That noise is the noise of it getting power, which is brave as we're going

16:24going

16:54For the box right here we're gonna apply some 3M double sided tape or whatever this is called

17:00just double sided tape and we're gonna put it in the frost uh the frunk cross beam per directions

17:09and you'll it's down here you'll see like a steel or aluminum some kind of metal cross beam

17:14that's where you're gonna install it too yeah it's pretty deep but you'll see it put

17:25I'll put pressure on it for like 15 seconds.

17:31This car doesn't have a radio

17:39Alright that's on and then for this

17:44There was no place to really put it I'm gonna put it right here to see how that works for now

17:49And we are going to test the trunk closing for the first, we are just going to press that

18:00button.

18:01More on the slower side, but that's pretty safe.

18:08And yeah, there you go.

18:09Look at it.

18:10It's pretty good.

18:11Here's my finger.

18:12Can't fit it through any here.

18:13It's pretty even consistent all the way through.

18:16Yeah, it's great.

18:20Can I hold?

18:21Can I hold it?

18:26fitment right there and you can also adjust the latch and everything to make the fit

18:30fitment even better and boom it works. That's great. It's a great thing to see guys.

18:38All right there it is boys. Tesla Model 3 2022. We just got this delivered

18:45and now it has a Hansshow's power frunk. Open that.

18:50Now it's a space you can use, very clean install, close it and of course like I'm just an average

19:04guy I don't really know how to install this stuff but hey, it works and I was able to

19:10do it myself with the some help and with this YouTube video hopefully it will

19:15make it a little bit easier for you guys. Hey can you open the trunk and the frunk?

19:19Just so people can see the speeds. There it is, that's tight. Can you

19:29close both? I tried to do it the same time if you can. It's that easy. About the

19:39same speed about the same speed not bad that. that's tight. yeah links down below if you
