Christmas decor…. Yup, I’m a lucky one with a 12vdc plug in the frunk to light up my Christmas wreath….. puts me in the holiday spirit.

How'd you attach the wreath there? Trying to figure out how to attach a Rudolph nose without blocking the front camera (where wiring on would be easiest)

Were you able to figure it out, I’m thinking command strip hooks?

This took me all of 30 min. I used the center console power outlet, wrapped 1.5 times around the coat hanger on the back of the passenger seat, then out the rear passenger window. I left enough slack on both sides of the window for the door to open and close, before zip-tying to the frontmost passenger luggage rack cleat. I left a little slack for the lights to dangle just a bit so the strand can be seen from the front, and used electrical tape in 3 spots to secure it to the black part of the roof. Then on around the drivers side, around the back of the antenna as taught as I could make it, and back to the final two cleats on the passenger side. I just barely had enough length to zip tie the female end to the first cleat.

I used standard 14” nylon zip ties and a 20’ strand seemed to be the perfect length for the job. At first I wanted to zigzag across the roof but I don’t think that would be very visible most of the time, at least from outside the car. If I did this again, I would probably use a red or multicolored strand for more pop!

I’d be curious to see if anyone can figure out a way to safely secure lights to the hood without restricting the hood opening or the windshield wipers.

Just an extra note for anyone who comes across this thread in future years - the trick to using tape to secure the lights to the roof is to fully wrap the strand and then stick both ends down (see photo).

When I tried to just tape across the light strand, wind would push the lights backward and they would slide between the tape and the roof panel, and eventually come all the way loose a couple days later. With this setup, it’s been holding fine for several weeks.

I know this is an older post but here’s my wreath! Used twine attached to the cargo net buttons to hang the wreath and then fishing line to the tow hooks. Slip knotted the fishing line so it’s easy to temporarily flip the wreath into the frunk to run through the carwash!

Fun at the Portland Oregon store front.
