This Dorman hood latch assembly is built to fit and work like the original equipment latch, and it is made of corrosion-resistant materials for reliable service. The catalog lists it for both the right and left positions.
Signs a hood latch may need replacing include a hood that won't latch shut, won't release, or doesn't open or close properly. Because a release cable or linkage can cause the same symptoms, check the whole release system before you replace the latch.
