I have no affiliation with the company, 'm just a satisfied customer. For $60, this was totally worth it.
Coming from an X with the EVOffer power frunk I knew that manually closing the hood every time was a pain. Prior to the power frunk we'd never open it unless we wanted to store something we didn't want in the main cabin. The EVOffer kit wouldn't latch and opened on me while driving. Overall, it was a good idea that wasn't well thought out or executed. That kit was expensive!
With our Y, I considered a power frunk kit but after doing my research it didn't seem worth the risk. Stuck hoods, hoods that opened while driving, and a tricky install. During my research I came across the Satonic soft close kit and it seemed like a winner. It's a piggyback kit that utilizes the OE latching hardware but adds its own motor to pull the hood into the locked position. Anybody can do the install. It took me about an hour taking photos and video along the way.
Grab one on Aliexpress and skip all these vendors who are just reselling the same product!
