Diagram ref no 10

The upper latch serves as a secondary locking point for the front bonnet, helping keep it tightly sealed against wind, vibration, and road forces while driving. Its geometry and pivot action are designed to work seamlessly with the factory release mechanism, striker pin, and lower catch system for smooth opening and secure closure.

This OE Match version is ideal for classic restoration projects, rebuilds, or whenever the original latch has worn, bent, corroded, or no longer provides positive engagement.

The upper latch engages the bonnet’s striker when the hood is closed, providing a secure secondary lock that prevents the bonnet from lifting or rattling while driving. It also supports proper hood alignment and seals the front bodywork for aerodynamic smoothness and weather protection.

Function: Installed at the upper front mounting location of the bonnet closure system, this latch acts as part of a two-point capture system that holds the front hood closed. It retains the striker securely and releases smoothly when the interior release cable is actuated. Proper latch function ensures:
•  Secure hood retention while driving
•  Smooth, predictable operation of the release mechanism
•  Even hood alignment and gap control
•  Reduced vibration and wind noise

The bonnet latch is a critical safety and structural component of the front body closure system. A worn, bent, or corroded latch can result in poor hood engagement, hood movement or rattle, misalignment of gaps, or - in worst cases - unintentional bonnet opening at speed. Replacing an aged or compromised latch with an OE Match unit helps ensure secure closure, factory-correct alignment, and dependable release performance.

When to replace:
•  Hood does not close or lock securely
•  Clamshell alignment issues or uneven gaps
•  Hood rattles or lifts under wind load
•  Latch shows signs of wear, corrosion, or binding
•  During restoration, body panel work, or release cable service
