Standard Ignition Hood Latch Assembly P/N:DLA1495

Secure the hood and trigger a clean release with the Standard Ignition Hood Latch Assembly DLA1495, a direct-fit replacement for the 2014-2019 Toyota Highlander (All engines). This Toyota Highlander hood latch handles the mechanical job of holding the hood closed at highway speed and letting it pop when you pull the cable, so a worn, corroded, or sticking original can be swapped out.

• Latch and catch mechanism: engages the hood striker to hold the hood shut and releases it on command from the cable.
• Cable-actuated release: works with the hood-release cable to unlatch the hood from inside the cabin.
• Serviceable replacement: restores normal latching action if the original mechanism has failed.

Signs the original latch may need replacing include a hood that won't stay fully closed or latch on the first slam, a release that sticks or won't pop, rattling from the front of the hood, or a corroded, seized mechanism. If a failed hood latch is the cause of these symptoms, this assembly replaces it. As with any Highlander hood latch job, confirm the cable and safety catch operate freely during installation.
