Dorman - OE Solutions Hood Latch Assembly P/N:820-303
If your hood no longer opens or closes properly, this Dorman hood latch, part number 820-044, engages the hood striker to hold the hood closed and lets it release when you operate the hood release. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2016 Mazda CX-5, engineered to mirror how the original equipment latch fits and works, with a corrosion-resistant housing built for reliable service.
Signs a latch may need replacing include a hood that will not latch, will not release, or does not stay fully closed. Because a stretched or damaged release cable can cause similar problems, diagnose the cause first. If the original latch has failed, this unit replaces it. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for complete fitment details.
