Review on πŸ”’ Rampage Products Locking Hood Catch Upgrade Kit for 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK, Black Powder Coat - Pair - Enhanced SEO by Chuck Hernandez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Rampage 76336 Bonnet Latch - almost done.

Installation was a little difficult. Previous users have commented on the insufficiently isolating bumpers and that is absolutely correct. Luckily I had a piece of thick rubber sheet to enlarge. Another minor flaw was that one latch had the hinge pin barely held by the body due to a casting error. I had to bend the cast body very carefully with a protected vise. You have to take the time to line up each latch so the lid closes evenly - it's trial and error. When latching the hood, it is best to position all latches and close them at the same time. When you bring your vehicle in for service, you must show these fasteners to a technician. If you don't do this, there is a chance the hood will latch and damage your hood immediately. A little more engineering and it will be a 5 star product. Once I installed them, they worked great. No more bonnet flapping or worrying about battery drain.

Pros

Cons
