Dorman - OE Solutions Hood Latch Assembly P/N:820-101
Dorman 820-470 hood latch for the 2013-2016 Lincoln MKZ holds the hood closed until you release it.
A hood that won't open, won't close firmly or sticks can mean the latch is worn or damaged. Before you replace it, rule out a loose or sticking hood release cable, since a cable problem can also keep the hood from opening.
This latch is a direct replacement that fits and works like the original equipment latch on the 2013-2016 Lincoln MKZ, which takes one latch.
