I slammed the trunk lid on my fingers. Owwwwww! I did this 2x on separate occasions! Has anyone else done this? In disbelief, it took me a couple seconds to use that release button.

Ok JLR, get rid of those grab inserts and use a strap or something instead. Nothing looks worse than finger marks on a trunk lid. Does this happen on the coupe (without the power closing)?

Warning: do not let your passengers empty the trunk and walk away.

ps: I reposted this because the prior one gave me a 404 error. Probably too many emoji.

 

erm no? had 2 verts now for 3 years and never did anything like that, push down on the top of the lid maybe?

 

Don't do that!

 

No problems with fingers in 4 years

 

Are you fingers still covered under warranty? I'd take them in to get examined.

 

you really posted this on the internet?

 

Ouch, sorry to hear this but...Nothing looks worse?

Really? I can think of one thing that not only looks worse but probably also hurts far more...
Black and blue FINGERS would look worse but, like others here are asking... how could you POSSIBLY do it a second time? How EXACTLY are you trying to close it that your fingers are caught?
I think we are going to need a video of the act...

 

YES - it was the emoji in the thread title of your original post that locked the thread. Now you've reposted (without the emoji) I've deleted it.

I have had since new a clear bra on my spoiler, because I realized it was the most sensible point to shut the hatch from.
It prevents leaving any fingerprints or even scratches.
Its entirely invisible.

 

Be grateful it wasn't your head.

 

Have you had other similar incidents/injuries or is this an F-Type problem?

 

Some 40 years ago I slammed my hand in the door of the old man's HQ Holden ute, it hurt so much I keeled over while holding my damaged hand under the tap in a vain attempt to numb the pain and woke up a few minutes later.
The old man's reaction?
"Stop being such a wuss and get back to work". I worked with him in the ceiling trade (drywall, usually called Gyprock here in Oz).

 

Well, yes.

I wanted sympathy, I wanted sympathy........ and maybe a couple funny jabs. Poor old me. Thanks

Oh, and I’m particularly mindful of the bonnet, lest someone find my head in the engine bay; and I make sure all hands are free when I drop the bonnet shut.

 

At least you didn't fail to open the trunk all the way, and while leaning in to access the trunk contents, smash your head on the open trunk. I imagine that would hurt a lot. Even more the 2nd time you do it. I'm too brain-damaged to remember if that was me, or someone else.

 

Well, if it was 15 degrees out, you could say you didn't feel your fingers and so did not know where they were
