Hyper-extended trunk
Here is a quick background and rundown.
- 2023 M340i, 5 months old, 2500 miles, garage kept - trunk requires a good slam to close ... last week - put backpack in trunk and closed it - got in car - opened garage - saw garage going up in rearview mirror - started and backed up slowly - bad noise - f**k - moved forward and got out - trunk was open - the metal hook/latch scraped the inside of the garage door - seemed ok... minor scrape on the underside of trunk lid - but then... i realized that the trunk hyper-extended - the top corners of the trunk hit the rear pillars and chipped a little paint - and then... i saw that the top corners of the trunk were slightly bent - the left side was touching the window when i closed the trunk - i bent it back slightly to prevent a problem with the window All of this hurts. After all, I keep the car in the garage to protect it. Additionally, it really surprises me that the design allows for the trunk to hit the rear pillars/window. I will double-check if the trunk is closed! I'm curious if anyone has seen something similar or has any suggestions for repair. Rob |
