Lotus Evora Front Access Panel Adjustment

[@LotiLaw]

Thanks for coming out with videos like these! They're extremely helpful! I've noticed my front access panel is a bit loose but didn't think too much about it. Now I'm realizing it never goes down to the second click so I think this will fix it. I'll also be tackling the inokinetic shifter V2 when that comes out and transmission cables with the help of your guide.

My pleasure. It's fun for me too.

Thank you so much for this. I have been driving with mine flapping around in the wind for the entirety of 3yr ownership. I simply walked out to the garage and pushed it down to the second latch point and it is perfect now🤦‍♂️ I just assumed it came with the character of hand built British motoring.

[@GoodmorningGoodnight]

Haha. How about that. Great to hear. There's certainly character there. That's why we love 'em

[@TroyKnapp]

I had the same exact experience and probably ran into the same forum post. I was super surprised when I learned it should click twice as well.

[@GoodmorningGoodnight]

Not sure why it was designed like that. I suppose it was some off-the-shelf latch that Lotus used

[@chemicalspore]

Nice fix. Sometimes I over think and I would have pulled the latch bolts out and put washers under the latch to raise it a little. Then I would have lined the underside of the panel with weather stripping.

[@GoodmorningGoodnight]

Not a bad idea. But not necessary. The adjustability of the stoppers makes it easy

[@chemicalspore]

@@GoodmorningGoodnight Like I said, I over think. My thinking is the weathe strip makes sure its water tight and no rattles

[@GoodmorningGoodnight]

@@chemicalspore I'm still thinking about the perfect thing to store up there in the front of the hatch. There's just enough space for some small 3-in by 2 in luggage. Lol

[@GoodmorningGoodnight]

@@chemicalspore yes. This!

[@AaronFrance]

Cool! Noticed this but never thought to adjust it. Will give it a go

[@GoodmorningGoodnight]

Easy enough to do!

[@bboixtc]

Change that dome light and all the others to LED! Boom, content. Lol

[@nick_diesel]

Definitely going to.take a look at mine

[@GoodmorningGoodnight]

How was it? Was it sitting correctly? :)

[@nick_diesel]

It is, but I have to replace my latch cord. I have a replacement, but haven't found another good reason to take the whole front bonnet off

[@nick_diesel]

...in the meantime, I have the reliable Lotus string pull that you should have installed on all of your latches 😅

[@GoodmorningGoodnight]

@@nick_diesel haha. Awesome
