• Packaged in brand color box to protect the parts during shipping.

• Tip: keep original mounting hardware if it is in good condition for reuse.

How should I check and maintain these latches after installation?

After fitting the replacement latches, verify hood alignment and closure by lowering the hood slowly and engaging the catches. Periodic checks and light cleaning help ensure smooth operation; avoid harsh solvents on rubber parts.

• Test closure and ensure both sides latch evenly with no binding.
• Inspect rubber elements for wear and clean with mild soap and water.
• Apply a light silicone spray to moving metal pivots if desired — avoid petroleum on rubber.
• Recheck bolts after a short drive to confirm none have loosened.
