👑 Reliable Crown Automotive 55176636K2 Hood Latch for Optimal Security Review

Wrong nuts sent and one of the mounting bolts broken. Had to use old nuts and took some time to tighten without scratching.

They install easily and neatly. Just to mention they are a bit smaller compared to OEM but that wasn't a big issue as I have slider fenders.

Better than the original, didn't know the old ones are so weak until I installed these new ones. Easy exchange. Nuts must be reused as they come with new ones.

Removed the old ones to repaint the hood. One of the old ones broke while removing it. I figured I should replace both so they match and one doesn't look faded. They met my expectations at a good price. I would recommend it to others.

I installed these on my jeep a few months ago and when I first put them on they were a bit difficult to put on as they were new but after a few Months with them they break and they are not gone yet. In general I am very happy with them

Seems to be of good quality. The time will show. A NOTICE. FOR SOME REASONS, THIS ITEM DOES NOT COME WITH NUTS OR OTHER MOUNTING HARDWARE. Not sure why this is as the reason for my replacement is frozen/broken nuts on existing hardware. Go to the hardware store and spend 30 minutes on $1 (maybe) worth of parts.

Additional hex nuts are required to attach these parts. You will need two hex nuts M8-1.25, grade 10 coarse and four hex nuts M6-1.0, grade 10 coarse. They are available from Home Depot in packs of 5 for $1.80 and $1.35 respectively. A standard zinc plated finish will work and last if you use lock washers or some type of Loctite thread lock.
