APPERFiT 9.5in Hood Latch Strap Kit 2-Pack for Peterbilt 377/378/379 — OEM-fit, brackets & hardware

APPERFiT's 9.5" hood latch strap and catch bracket kit is a direct-fit replacement for Peterbilt 377, 378, and 379 hoods, supplied as a two-pack with mounting hardware and a one-year warranty.

If the original rubber hood hold-down straps on your Peterbilt have cracked, stretched, or lost their locking ability, this APPERFiT kit restores secure retention for both driver and passenger sides. The package contains two 9.5-inch rubber straps, two hook catch brackets, bolts, and nuts so you can replace both hood retainers at once and return the front engine hood to factory-like performance.

How does this kit match my Peterbilt’s original parts?

The APPERFiT assembly is manufactured to mirror OEM dimensions and fitment for HLK1089K / 161037 replacements. That means bolt-hole alignment, strap length, and bracket geometry are intended to match the factory layout for straightforward installation without modification.

• Direct compatibility with Peterbilt 377, 378, and 379 models
• 9.5-inch strap length matching OEM specification
• Includes bolts and nuts for proper mounting

What materials and durability can I expect?

The straps are molded from a robust rubber compound designed for heavy-duty truck exposure, resisting cracking and deformation that occurs with age and weather. The catch brackets are made to hold the strap securely under vibration and engine movement common in commercial operation.

• High-quality rubber strap for weather and vibration resistance
• Metal catch brackets built for secure retention
• Designed to withstand daily use in demanding conditions

How simple is the installation for a technician or owner?

Installation is straightforward: unbolt the old strap and bracket, position the APPERFiT bracket, secure with the included fasteners, and attach the new strap. Most installs are bolt-on replacements and require only basic hand tools, making this suitable for shop service or experienced owners.

• Comes with two bolts and nuts for immediate fitment
• Bolt-hole alignment matches OEM pattern for easy swap-out
• Swap both left and right sides with the two-pack provided

What does the warranty cover and how do I get support?

APPERFiT backs this hood latch strap and bracket kit with a one-year warranty against manufacturing defects. If you experience fitment issues or visible defects, contact APPERFiT via email for assistance, replacement, or guidance on next steps.

• 1-year warranty from the date of purchase
• Support available by contacting the brand via email
• Warranty covers manufacturing defects, not normal wear

Who is this for: Truck owners, fleet managers, and technicians running Peterbilt 377, 378, or 379 models who need a reliable, OEM-compatible hood retention repair kit. This two-pack is ideal when replacing both driver and passenger side retainers at once—especially for vehicles exposed to heavy use, weathering, or where original straps have begun to fail.
