    This does include a very colorful poster style instruction sheet that has extremely vague instructions. For example, the first instruction is: 1. Factory hood latch is made of plastic remove the factory hood latch. And there is a picture of the hood latch locked in place on a closed hood. It neglects to tell you you have to remove the front grill. And you have to navigate a socket wrench from below the headlamp to squeeze it in between the body panel and engine compartment. Tip that i hope will save someone some time and aggravation: the factory nut is a 1/2 inch and comes off pretty easy once you navigate the socket wrench past the headlamps. But my biggest issue is the hex head screws are extremely weak metal. I had not notice the JK specific gaskets and initially installed using the pre-fitted JL gaskets. I was able to remove one mount but the second mount screw stripped the hex. Of course it is too low clearance to reach in behind so Im stick with a 70% tighten screw that wont come out nor go back in. Wasnt using anything more that a standard socket wrench and the included hex key and yet the screw rounded out. After over an hour trying various method to remove the screw I eventually gave up and just dealt with the passenger side lower mount being slightly loose. I may someday use the screw extractor to get it out but for now it works fine and the JL gasket works well enough. All that being said the mounts are good construction (except the weak screw head mentioned above). The hood latches tightly and no move windblown hood bounces at +55mph. Looks sharp too, just mildly irritating that I cant affix the a proper gasket and tighten it up.

    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.

    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.

    I took off the front grill to reach the bolts on the fenders, so a little extra work from what the instructions say, but easy to install and do what they they were designed for.

    Works exactly as advertised. Really easy to install, but its kinda tricky to get a wrench on it. But its not these latches fault. They are holding tight.

    Ill keep this review short and simply say that these latches look great, are pretty easy to install, and solved my problem of having dull faded OEM latches. Below are are few steps that may help with your install. 1. check the rubber gasket (for bottom bracket) to ensure it is correct for your model JL or JK. 2. Remove the bottom bracket allen bolts (small ones) from hinge to access the larger allen bolt that goes through lower body panel. 3. Put a piece of tape on the back of nut (bottom bracket) before inserting into 13mm socket. Should prevent nut from falling off socket. 4. Align nut in socket with lower panel hole (reaching behind panel with ratchet). 5. Align bottom bracket* allen bolt with panel hole and taped nut. Easier than trying to fish for threads with nut. *Ensure bottom bracket flat side is down 6. Attach bottom bracket hinge with (small) allen bolts. 7. Attach top bracket. 8. Adjust top bracket (up/dpwn) as needed to get secure fit.
