Completion of the hood installation requires reversing the removal steps then adjusting the hood latch before lubricating the hood latch mechanism.

Ford Hood Latch

If you own Ford and want to keep it in top shape, choosing OEM Hood Latch is a smart move. They are precisely engineered and follow strict factory standards.

FordPartsDeal.com gives you genuine Ford Hood Latch at some of the affordable online prices without cutting quality. Every OEM Ford part includes the manufacturer's warranty, easy returns, and super-fast delivery. So why wait? Shop now and get your vehicle back to peak condition.

The hood is locked very tightly using the Ford Hood Latch that prevents the shake and pop in an uneven road or highway. Ford was founded in 1903, when Henry Ford began to construct cars, and the moving assembly line ten years later cut production time, an effort to trim waste that continues to this day as seen in EcoBoost engines that squeeze more miles per gallon of fuel without adding torque, SYNC voice control that lets a driver pick a song or a route without reaching out to a hand, digital eyes (Co-Pilot360) that break when the traffic is stopped, and silent battery trucks such as the F-150 Lightning that haul without smoke, proving the varying vibration caused by each road. The Hood Latch is fitted with a deadbolt catch and tempered spring steel to fasten the panel together thereby removing wind lift, diverting debris, and protecting engine parts. Rust-proof coating thwarts rain, and a self-aligning striker makes the Ford Hood Latch close in a single push, giving drivers the crisp click, which is the indication that the front bay is closed. The drop-in geometry adjusts to stock mounts and thus the Ford Hood Latch can be installed quickly on the new ride or old ride that has traveled over 100,000 miles and is performing well.
