Reviews: Daystar Hood Wrangler Latches

Stock hood latch baffled when I met trucks on the highway. With these latches the hood doesn't even move at all.

I'm pleased with there performance.

Holds the hood down no more flopping in the wind when meeting other cars or trucks

The Hood on my JKU would Jump a full inch and it drove me nuts. The install was easy, cut the old ones with a razor knife snip the pins with a set of dikes and use the supplied bolts to reinstall the new rubbers. It took about 10 minutes and I didn't even open the hood. Now even at 85 mph the hood doesn't move. Why doesn't Jeep use these as stock?

keeps hood down excellent design love it.

Works as designed and described. Made of better material then stock rubber latch. Holds hood down very tightly and removes the hood flutter completely. I use my jk as a daily driver and therefore see a lot of highway miles and hood flutter was very bothersome.

worked very well

Great product~!

My Hood would flutter at highway speed somuch I thought it would fly open. Now it does not move at all. The latches are very tight and takes a bit of extra fource to snap them down but that is worth it to keep the hood from fluttering like it did before

Flighty JK hood ? Not anymore. This product does exactly what is says. Keeps the hood down firm.

Took less than an hour to install and does the trick to keep the hood from bouncing. Great product all around.

These hood latches suck the hood down very tight. So tight that it makes it difficult to latch. Someone with small weak hands may have some issues latching them down. However, the hood flutter is gone. That is all the matters.

On my 2009 jeep rubicon i could not get the lower hinge removed. Used a 1/4 drill bit to drill head of keeper and popped off with a screwdriver. They work great. No more hood shake or lifting when meeting oncoming traffic.

Make sure it is a warm day when you install

great product very easy to install and work great keep the hood down like its supposed to be thanks for suplling such great products i have come to expect nothing less from four wheel parts great sevice and everything

They were super easy to instal if you don't follow the directions, it is a [*] to get the hinges unbolted from the fender but i searched the web and found a you tube video that involved wire cutters made it very easy! there is no give though the first time i latched the hood down i though the clasp was about to snap. there is NO!! give in these and no more hood flutter either!

We almost bent our hood when the right side origional rubber hood latch snapped when we met a truck in high wind. We replaced both rubber latches with DaystarJK Hood Latches and have not seen the hood try to lift in our stiff Kansas wind since then

Bought these to stop the hood flutter with everyday driving. Installed this product in about 15 mins. Since they are not made from rubber the first time to latch the latches it can be VERY tough. It recommends you install in 70+ degree weather, but I did mine in about 50 degree. After having them on there for a few months they stretch just enough where it isn't as hard to snap closed. so far so good - no hood flutter is a plus in my book.

Every JK owner should get these!

Works very well. Stopped all "Hood Chatter" at highway speeds.
