How will these hood pins reduce hood vibration on uneven roads?

These latches fit the factory latch area and act as a secondary restraint to limit hood movement. When installed correctly, they help keep the hood seated and reduce the amount of bounce or rattling from engine bay motion or rough terrain.

• 1:1 mold fitment to original Jeep latch geometry for secure seating
• Aluminum construction provides firm clamping without adding heavy weight
• Designed to work with existing hood catches to minimize play
• Two-piece kit gives balanced restraint on both sides of the hood
