Aluminum Alloy Hood Latches Catch Kit - Locks for Jeep Wrangler JK/JKU, JL/JLU & Gladiator JT - Black

Short story-Strong, sexy, & chicks dig it.Long story-I was driving down the highway in extreme wind and thought the hood was going to fly off. That’s why I bought these. They’re easy to install. No drilling. There’s a YouTube video explaining the install that’s worth watching. Beefier than I expected. Solid af. And now the hood doesn’t move. At all. Even in high wind. Also they’re super sexy.

The media could not be loaded. I picked up these FlyOX latches to replace my factory latches for the same reasons as most people. I originally bought a set of locking latches from another seller and immediately returned them when I saw the size. These are twice the size and much beefier and solid. There weren’t any instructions, however, it’s straight forward. I did have to be a bit creative with the lower rubber seals as the hole was a bit off, but I used a paper punch to remedy that. Speaking of the lower rubber seals, there are two sets, one labeled JK and the other JL. Neither lined up on my 2015 JK Rubi. I also opted to use the factory nuts for two reasons. One, they have a washer built in and two, they are very magnetic which helped a lot when installing the lower latches.To remove and install the lower latches, I lowered my front grill, which is easy to do and saves a lot of trouble getting at the nut with a box end wrench, especially when removing the old ones. Then, installation was a little tricky to get the nut aligned if you don’t have small hands, however, I used a mechanics telescopic magnet to get the nut started (something I couldn’t do with the nuts that came with the kit). Once I got it started, I slipped my wrench on it and tightened it up, making sure the seal and latch were properly aligned. The final step was reattaching the rest of the lower latch. Next, the upper latch was easy peasy. I propped the hood up just enough to get at the backside nuts on and tightened them just enough so I could easily adjust them for alignment and a snug fit. Oh, don’t forget to slip the little rubber bit behind the upper latch before tightening everything up. Once I got everything aligned, I tightened everything up and checked the fit. Perfect! And, they look Marvelous! I hope this review and accompanying video helps.

Put these on my Jeep Wrangler after my stock ones broke. They were simple to put on, and very sturdy. Fit perfectly in the holes that were already there. Adjusted easily so that I had no more hood wobble. Highly recommend these!

Love this product. Not to difficult to install but amazing results over standard latches. Looks awesome!

I’m very impressed how well made they are so much better than the factory ones. They are adjustable which is awesome I would recommend anyone that has a Jeep.

Easy to install and completely stop hood flutter. Plus they look great!

Strong sturdy product, as advertised. Installation is pretty easy once you figure out how to get to the inside bolt on the bottom. I fished a socket wrench up from underneath.
