Seven Sparta Hood Latches Aluminum Hood Catch Compatible with Jeep Wrangler JK/JKU 2007-2017, JL/JLU 2018-2022 & Jeep Gladiator 2020-2022, 1 Pair (American Flag)

These parts are much better than the OEM brackets. Metal vs rubber connections, there is no comparison. An easy install, just the bolt/nut through the sidewall is a bit of problem. Just be patient with it and all will be well. Good product!

These are a very well designed and manufactured latches. Fairly simple to install. High quality materials provided with hinges neatly packed and shipped. One suggestion: get some stainless steel washers to use with your installation, two sizes needed, four of one, two of the other. A GREAT VALUE for the money and very REASONABLY PRICED for the quality and fit. Worked and fit perfectly on my 2015 JK.

This fit perfectly on my 2014 Jeep Wrangler hood! Looks great and it’s holding up well! I’d definitely recommend this, it will spice up the look of your Jeep ;) Trust me

Great product, only time and weather will tell if they hold up! Easy enough to install. The issues installing were not with the actual product, but with the Jeep design just being difficult to work around without taking the whole front end apart. I took the front grille off and moved the headlamp in order to install the bottom part of the latch - that was the worst part! Took 15-20 mins per side to tighten just due to the awkward angle. The top latch was super simple and maybe took 5-10 mins per side. I only had to adjust once to my liking. The latches are adjustable, so you can choose how tightly your hood closes. Lots of compliments on a simple upgrade, and it looks way better than my weathered old factory ones! Not sure how it’ll hold up over time with rust or anything, but so far, so good!

Nice upgrade for the JK.

Easy to install, had to do a little adjustment

This hood latch didn’t fit the hood on my Jeep. I have a Rubicon X with the different hood (see image) and my hood has a large indent where the latch sits. My husband couldn’t get these latches to adjust to properly fit. So they’ll be going to his brother (other Jeep in the picture) since they seem like good quality.

Great

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.

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!
