Mazda Hood Latch

The Mazda Hood Latch is designed to keep the hood down at speed, protecting vital engine components while enabling quick release of the cabin in the event of service needs. Mazda has made its name on spirited handling, fuel-saving Skyactiv engines, and elegant Kodo design that makes every model feel like it's moving even when it's parked. Drivers love the way Mazda combines i-Activsense safety tech, available all-wheel drive that grips the rough roads, and emerging electric and hybrid options so future journeys are clean and efficient. The brand is still dedicated to lightweight construction and responsive steering, characteristics that mean a daily commute or a meander around a back road are equally enjoyable. These strengths translate to a Mazda being a lively yet practical car for families and enthusiasts alike. Just like the chassis and powertrain are all about balance, so is the Hood Latch, which is simple and dependable engineering. Located under the edge of the hood and connected to an interior handle by a sturdy steel cable, this Hood Latch incorporates a spring-loaded claw and secondary safety catch to ensure the panel will not fly open even on bumpy terrain. Its universal fit across the lineup allows owners to pop the hood from the driver seat, lift the secondary catch with one hand, and gain access for routine checks in seconds. By combining the simplicity of the mechanics with a solid use of materials, Mazda makes sure this small device is a big peace of mind.

You'll get great performance and real durability when you pick genuine OEM Hood Latch.
