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)

Easy install for the average Jeep owner. 15-20 minutes max. Right and secure for after adjustments. Excited to not see any hood flutter next time on the turnpike.

I loved the look of these latches for the price. However, one of the screws that holds the bushing in place came loose, and with it the latch on that side. (Hood flutter). If I could just replace the hex socket screw I would be a happy camper. Next time I will use Loctite. IF not for this nuisance, this would be a 5/5 easily.

These latches are well made and look great. And the hood doesnt pop every time a Peterbilt passes on a 2 lane highway. The only thing I would advise a Jeep owner is these do not give, they are solid. If you are an avid off-road enthusiasts I would think about the fact these latches have no elasticity to allow flexing in extreme condition.

I replaced the stock ones on my 2015 Jeep Wrangler. I love the fact that there is no more hood flutter. I had gotten used to it when I was driving but my SO kept getting nervous thinking the hood was going to fly up. So, I replaced them, and he feels much more comfortable when he does have to drive my Jeep instead of the dually.

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.

Absolutely love these latches. So much more beefy and chunky. They are very well manufactured super easy to install. I was worried about possible sun fading but the pair/texture appears that won’t happen.
