DIY Dog Mode Sign for My Rivian R1S: Not Looking Bad At All

Frunk Troubles: R1S Frunk Button Came Loose

Rivian Mom · 2025-04-04T15:23:50+00:00

On Tuesday, I went to open the frunk via the button in the bumper but instead the button popped out of whatever clip it's supposed to be held in. The rubber cover over the button is intact. Opened a service ticket just to find out the closest date available was late May. Yikes! It's not a critical issue of course as I can still use the key fob, phone or screen inside the truck to open it but I would love to have it fixed. I live a bit far from a service center and since I would rather not drive that far I opened a chat request to see if they could do a mobile service. No resolution yet on if they will go the mobile route but I found it funny that they requested a video of the issue, so i sent them a video of me filming the underside of the bumper looking at the rubber cover, pressing up and yep the frunk doesn't open, much good info to be gleamed from that. Service really is such an area that needs vastly more resources applied to it if they seem fully booked.

Don't know if it's just me, but a couple of times, I’ve walked out of Costco to find notes on my Rivian’s windshield, scolding me for leaving my dog in a “hot car.” My Tesla Model Y has a clear Dog Mode screen that everyone can see, but the Rivian’s setup isn’t as obvious, so people get worried. I totally get why it might look bad, but it’s never been much of a big deal since my dogs are safe and cool inside.

In other to avoid sotuations like this, I decided to fix this by making a colorful, tough sign with my 3D printer to show my dogs are okay, just for the fun of it. If anyone wants a pair, I can mail them with suction cups for $10 for two, plus $6 shipping. Anyone interested, please feel free to let me know.
