What does a hood latch do?
It holds the hood closed while you drive and releases it when the hood release is operated, so the hood can be opened for service.
What are signs the hood latch may need replacing?
A hood that no longer opens or closes properly, or does not latch securely, may mean the latch is worn. Diagnose the cause first, because the release cable or handle can also be involved.
Is the Dorman hood latch assembly hard to install?
It requires no special tools to replace. Dorman also put it through vehicle fitment and material testing for proper fit and reliable service.
