🔒 Black Stainless Steel Latch Locking Hood Catch Kit - Fits 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK JKU Review

They replaced 11 year old worn out hood latches. I drive 100 km to and from work every day, mostly on the freeway. Most days the hood flap was just noticeable, but on a windy day it sounded like I was losing parts of my Jeep. I looked at the many styles available and they fit me best and this imitation had the best price at the time. This completely eliminated the hood flapping. Installation was easy thanks to the instructions and took less than 15 minutes. Getting to the bottom latch bracket…

So let me start by saying that all these reviews and the actual packaging are completely wrong. If you install as directed on the packaging and reviews you will have: 1. Metal hood to chassis with ZERO GAP.2. The latch closes on your hood and digs a hole.3. Have really bad carbide on a metal joint that has no formability at all.

You seem very strong. The installation instructions are definitely missing, the photos are very small and the text is very blurry. However, no special mechanical skills are required to understand this. There are 3 Allen keys included in the kit and you will need 10mm and 13mm sockets which are

These are very strong and well made bonnet latches. Installation will take a little longer due to the location of the bottom nut, but that goes for any hood latches you buy. The easiest way is to remove the front grille. After that it's a lot easier. Colored instructions were included, but those who work a lot with the Jeep probably won't need them. The installation is quite easy. These latches came with stainless steel hardware and nylock nuts to ensure they wouldn't come loose. This is…
