Just took delivery of a 24 Lariat and was doing the frunk beep delete when I noticed these black strips under the frunk with a cable running out of the back. What are they for?

Those strips are sensors to prevent pinch injuries. Push one down when your frunk is closing and it will quickly reverse and go back up.

Lots of stuff under the frunk.

true... if the HUGE usable 'frunk' didn't take up so much 'room'.... well, yes... room enough for 22 1/2 hamster wheels :)

A hamster wheel was originally planned to charge the 12 volt battery.

They had to leave it out due to lack of room.

The space was not the problem.

I’m in sort of a fix, can someone help?
I started out removing a screw on a panel to see what was under it, dropped the screw and had to remove some more and lost one of those. Well, long story
short, I never found the missing screws and don’t know how to put it back together.

Do you think I voided my warranty of could I have AAA take it to the dealer?
Great videos on Munro Live on lightnings and other EV tear downs.

The only ways to void your warranty are to tamper with the odometer or have it declared a total loss. Absolutely nothing else can void it.

I wish I had some constructive advice on how to get it back together, but it’s tough to do over the internet.

Take a look at this and see if it helps. This is from the factory shop manual with diagrams on how to remove the frunk.
