Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Why is the lower latch important for vehicle safety? A: The lower latch serves as the primary connection point that keeps the hood from lifting while the vehicle is in motion. If this component fails, the hood could unexpectedly open and obstruct the driver's field of vision.

Q: Does this latch require specific maintenance? A: Applying a small amount of lithium grease to the moving parts during installation can help ensure smooth operation and prevent future binding. Periodic cleaning of the latch mechanism will also extend its service life.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
