Hotwin Hood Latch for Ford Focus 2000-2007: Prop Rod Hinge Nut Grommet W700510S300 Compatibility Review

My son just got his first car which is an 05" Ford Focus Hatchback and he needed it fixed. Arrived so quickly and worked great.

Works perfectly. I took the suggestion and warmed it up in a cup of hot water and then used a flathead screwdriver to set it in place. Then the bonnet bracket is screwed in directly.

Worked great on my 2008 Focus Se sedan. You'll need a flathead screwdriver to insert it, so don't think it'll just pop out. It's very tight, as it should be. Now the car doesn't sound like a tin can rolling down the street anymore 👍

Replaced worn and cracked bushing. Please note that when replacing, use some soap. Note the cut in the grommet and insert it from the outside of the front quarter of the panel. Turn clockwise with a flathead screwdriver. 1-2-3, done.

This is a split sleeve. It's made out of some kind of rubber. There is nothing more to say. I bought this to use as a hood stay on a Ford Focus. No problems installing, went in easily, seems secure, does the job well. I hope it doesn't harden and fall apart in the next five years. When that happens I just buy another one because they are pretty cheap.
