Genuine Mazda CX-3 Hood Latch

The Mazda CX-3 Hood Latch offers the much-needed first line of defense as the bonnet remains securely closed and the driver is able to travel spiritedly without being concerned about being caught by an unexpected hood lift. This is a small but sturdy part that combines a primary catch that is spring loaded with a secondary safety hook to form a two-step hold that is not easily bumped, hard-stopped, or fisted by high-speed airflow. Since the mechanism connects to factory points that have not changed since the 2016 release, it fits right into all CX-3 models, ranging from the energetic Sport to the feature-packed Grand Touring; an easy fit when wear and tear requires. Owners like the ease with which the interior handle opens the hood, yet the remaining hook stays seated until the hook is freed intentionally, a process that has not only been engineered with convenience and safety in mind, but also reflects the overall Mazda ethic of being driver-centered. Consistent testing of cable tension and striker position maintains the Hood Latch in a proper state, which contributes to effective maintenance routines and eliminates wind noise that may reduce fuel economy. Zinc-coated steel in the unit also means it does not rust, which is a minor yet useful feature for CX-3 drivers in wet or salty weather. This is a simple, all-mechanical design; unlike more complex electronic closures, it retains a low weight and maintains the steering feel that Mazda cars are known to have in normal traffic. The small profile also creates additional space in the crammed nose region, helping airflow to Skyactiv engines and adding to the overall performance. The Hood Latch is simple, durable, and easily compatible with many things, which makes it reflect the Jinba Ittai philosophy of Mazda by providing the driver with a breath of confidence each time the car is pulled away.
