Does anyone have a remedy for having a smelling frunk?
In the past I have used my car trunk for all my gym & pickleball stuff and never smellt anything while driving because the trunk was in the back of the car.
Now with the frunk in the front I get a slight constant smell coming from the frunk. Would love to find a way to keep the smell at bay.
Thanks for listening.

You could wash it out, there is a drain in the bottom… I had a slight odor in mine, and it came from the separator carpet. Gave it a wash, no more odor!

it’s a pretty airtight space, so yeah, smells may linger, especially mildew-like smells and take out food. ;)

My name is Mike, and I have a (car) problem
ozone generator should kill any f(r)unky smells.
I misread that as ā€œooze generatorā€ and had a moment of sheer confusion.

Time for more coffee.

FYI if you go the ozone route, make sure you know what residual smell it plans to leave behind. The one we used in the i3 after my son painted the back seats in vomit left behind a sweet floral odor that was pretty overwhelming for a month.

Thank you 4 the responses. The Ozone may b a little expensive, so I think I will try the Meguire Car Bomb new car smell and see how that works first.
Thanks Again Tony.

I finally looked for that drain, but couldn't find one. I did find a quarter (25cent piece) sized indentation on the front passenger side floor, but it wasn't a plug. Where is this drain plug?

The drains are one-way valves, not plugs. This is it.

Yup, that's the drain. As Dark-Fx stated, it's a one-way valve.

Generic ozone generator is 50-60 off Amazon and you can use it in way more places than the car. Just be careful and read on how to use it properly.

Launder your clothes more often. yeah , might be a workaround. Better than hang a little Christmas tree up there.
