Chevrolet Express Hood Latch

The Chevrolet Express Hood Latch ensures that the van's hood stays shut throughout the journey, preventing it from flying up and protecting the essential parts of the engine bay on each trip. The assembly makes use of a spring-loaded catch plate and a secondary safety hook, so even if the first catch slips, the backup hook still holds the panel. Through the production run, early models were based on a simple stamped steel Hood Latch with a pull cable leading to the cabin, but later vans had a reinforced composite Hood Latch that is resistant to corrosion and has a smoother release. Both versions have the same two-stage locking system, but the newer style combines the striker and Hood Latch using a plastic-sheathed cable to reduce fraying and make pulling easier for drivers. Whether fitted to a cargo or a passenger model, the mechanism remains tucked under the grille line where it locks onto the hood striker once the panel has been dropped and is only disengaged by pulling the in-cab lever and lifting the exterior safety tab by hand. Routine inspection for dirt buildup and proper spring tension ensures that the Chevrolet vehicle will continue to hold secure closure and uninterrupted cruising confidence with every Express owner. This reliable Hood Latch design has remained nearly unchanged, providing Chevrolet drivers of every Express year peace of mind.

Each OEM Chevrolet Express Hood Latch we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
