    I ordered another set of latches first that were advertised as black stainless steel. They were plastic. These are all metal and they are made really well. Not disappointed at all.

    I am a firm believer of metal is better than plastic. These are of great quality and you wont have to worry about them breaking like the rubber stock ones.

    These latches are VERY high quality. Much better than I thought I was going to get. I own a 2012 2dr Sahara. If you own one too, be prepared for the battle of your life getting the old ones off. There is little to no room to fit your hand in there. Pro tip:remove the wheel well liner and come in from the bottom. That will save you some time. Of course all that has nothing to do with these latches, but just fair warning, they are a real PITA to get off.

    Purchased these awesome Sparta Latches a few weeks ago and it was a breeze to install, best part was the double bolt fit I only found available from this seller and conveniently on Prime--- Same Day Delivery! I was in a bind to get these latches repaired as I am in process of selling my 2011 Jeep 2D Wrangler ! I was Driving down a 2 Lane highway one day and passed a 18 wheeler about 65 mph, the gust literally blew the stock latch right off, it was 10 years old definitely a little worn out. Sounded like a gunshot through the window and scared the living daylight out of me, so thankful these replacements worked out. I am a 35 year old woman with a socket wrench kit I got at 18 years old, I was able to figure this out and fit my hands behind the grill and corner fender which helped to arrange unassembled the lower original bolts and washer and put on the new ones. Note you have to take apart the actual new bottom clip to tighten on but its a simple instruction and video helped on the page ! Good luck, I love the look of these should have purchased sooner!

    First, I save 5 star ratings for the best of the best products and as much as I like these latches, the instructions were awful and not much more than a handful of photos. That said, if you are semi-handy you can grasp what needs to be done and in what order but there are likely to be a few re-do moments. Take some time to think about things, take your time doing the work, and while its a cumbersome and time consuming process its pretty easy skill-wise. I did detach my grill by removing the snap buttons and pulling it loose from the bottom clips. I left the wiring harnesses connected and leaned the grill forward. That took only a few minutes and really, imho doing so saved me much more time getting access behind the fenders. Can you get your fingers and socket wrench in there with the grill on? Maybe but why struggle more than needed? If I had to do the job again Id probably mask off the body and fender areas surrounding the latch area. You are working with metal parts, Allen wrenches, etc and one slip and you got a nice scratch. I worked very carefully and deliberately with luckily no oops-es but it could easily happen. I felt the size of a 3/8 socket wrench worked best in the small space behind the fenders but the normal length of it was a little short so I used a pipe as a makeshift extension. That helped a lot holding the lock nut in place behind the fender as I threaded the bolt into it. Regular nuts vs the lock nuts provided wouldve made the install much easier overall. When you mount the upper hook piece Id start with it at its lowest position. For me it was perfectly tight there and any higher wouldve been way too tight.

    On a 2008 Jeep Wrangler: Replaced the worn factory latches that were cracking/loose and causing bad hood flutter on the highway. These latches look great, feel sturdy and close securely. Very pleased with the purchase. While the videos I watched were helpful, they all had some omissions. I am not a mechanic but am OK with DIY stuff. The bottom latch assemblies are the harder to remove and then install. The 1/2 or 13mm bolts (almost interchangeable) were impossible to reach with my ratchet wrench...until I passed the wrench up from under the car. The passenger side was easier than the driver side. Installing the new lower assembly required the same technique but, on the drivers side I had to detach the front grill to access the bolt with the wrench. Detaching the front grill is not difficult, there are 5 or 6 pins that are easy to remove and the grill easily pulls forward. You do need to be careful bolting on the new lower assembly- I used a little insect adhesive on my finger tips to keep from losing the new bolt while I hand tightened it on. The assembly that attaches to the hood is easy. The whole process took an hour.
