Review on πŸ”’ Jeep Wrangler JL Original Black Stainless Steel Latch Locking Hood Catch Kit - 2018 Version - Fits Jeep Wrangler JK (2007-2018) and JL Models by Andrew Jenkins

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Added to my 2015 Jeep JK and love them so much

Would definitely recommend them to Jeep JK owners looking for stronger and nicer hood latches. Part of the design makes me give up the star. List of Pros: First, they do their job well. My hood no longer bobs up and down when picking up speed on the freeway. It is great! Also, I really like the look of my jeep. They are a little bigger than other brands but look good. Negative List: Just a few minor things to deduct a star. First a reminder that you will need to drill some holes in your jeep's hood to make them fit. Don't try to force interlocks on existing treks or you will most likely break the supports (yes I tried). Drilling will slightly enlarge the hole, but nothing major. Second, during the operation of the latches. When you try to close the hood, the metal part of each latch tends to fall under the hood, which gets in the way so much that you have to hold up both sides to close the hood. I added a photo of it. Update: It seems that sliding the metal latches back before closing the hood will fix this issue. If I could I would raise this rating to 4.5. I feel the benefits are still clear and I would buy it again.
