Jeep Hood Latch For 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler Jk JL Black Stainless Steel Catch Kit Accessories To 2018 Jeep Wrangler

They are little difficult to install but watched a couple of videos on YouTube and that helped a lot. My hands are a little big to fit in the tight space for the nuts to go on the bolts but other than that not too bed. I like the look and they hold the hood down snugly.

These look great n Are great after installed almost gave up couldn't get them to fit until I read other reviews n they suggested making holes lil bigger Worked Great we are very happy with these hope u will b too :)

Had to hevily modify to make this fit on a 2015 JK. These latches also have a spring inside making them pop inwards so to be able to close the hood without 2 people, you have to remove the internal spring. Probably the worst product design out there. If you modify the plastic tabs, cut your rubber mount gaskets, and remove the spring, you can make them fit and the end result looks nice.

OK, so about installation, I was able to search on YouTube about installation and I believe it was called. JK gadgets that I ended up watching. *Now, these hood latches are awesome, sturdy, and actually add to the look of the JK if that’s what you’re after. If you have patience and mechanical ability for DIY installations, then I would believe this will be no problem for you if not, you may need assistance. So for the nitty-gritty… what you’ll need and what I used is a 3/8 drill bit where I had to make the hood attachment holes larger to allow movement as well as where the two plastic square tabs for the fender mount. With out drilling these out on my 2016 JKU there was no way these would function. The title suggest that’s it’s for my year model but I believe they are for JL still. My jeep is an everyday driver and I go crawling every other 3-6 days so even though it’s got brush pin stripes and rock rash, I don’t care to butcher it up. I’m capable of this task, you may not be, but I’ll save headache and tell you once you drive out those holes assembly is there.

nuts are a little hard to reach but manageable. Hood no longer moves in high wind. Looks better than original hood latches.

Had to file off plastic locating tabs on fender side because they didn’t line up with the factory holes. As others have said, latches get in the way of the hood when closing.

There a little bit big, but they start to look smaller within the week. It's made of a strong textured plastic but the part that clamps down the hood is metal. Going down the freeway at a reasonable speed I don't get any hood movement whatsoever.

I got these to stop the hood flutter on the freeway.The pins on the back are for JL, but are quick to snap off for JK install.Just tighten them down good and once you latch them you are good to go.My hood stays down without flutter at 75 MPH with cross winds.I would definitely recommend these.
