DICMIC Front Bonnet Lock Hood Latch for Ford F-150 2015-2020 — Direct Fit, Corrosion-Resistant Metal

DICMIC Front Bonnet Lock Hood Latch replaces FL3Z-16700-B to restore secure hood closing on 2015–2020 Ford F‑150 trucks.

If your F‑150’s hood is loose, won’t latch, or the current latch shows corrosion or wear, replacing the front bonnet lock can return reliable hood retention and give you peace of mind on the road. This OEM-compatible latch is offered as a single-unit replacement that fits model years 2015 through 2020, engineered to match factory fitment and mounting points for a straightforward swap.

How does this latch restore hood safety and function?

The front bonnet lock provides the primary mechanical catch that keeps the hood closed under normal driving conditions. A fresh latch eliminates play caused by worn pivots or rust and ensures the secondary catch engages correctly.

• Direct replacement for part number FL3Z-16700-B for correct fit.
• Restores original hood alignment and prevents wind lift.
• Durable metal construction resists everyday wear and exposure.
• Installs in minutes with common hand tools following factory steps.

The DICMIC hood latch is designed specifically to match the body and mounting configuration of 2015–2020 Ford F‑150 trucks. Confirm compatibility by checking your vehicle’s model year and the OEM part number before purchase.

What are the build quality and durability features?

DICMIC emphasizes corrosion resistance and mechanical longevity to keep the latch functioning through repeated use and seasonal exposure. The materials and finishes reduce the risk of premature failure compared with neglected or heavily corroded original parts.

• Constructed from metal alloys treated to resist rusting.
• Precision mating surfaces for consistent catch engagement.
• Designed to withstand frequent opening and closing cycles.

How easy is installation and what should I expect?

Installation is straightforward for mechanically inclined owners or technicians; the latch uses the same bolt pattern and linkage points as the factory unit. Basic hand tools are typically all that’s required, and alignment can be fine‑tuned to ensure a smooth, secure close.

• Remove the old latch, unbolt and disconnect linkage; bolt in the replacement.
• Check hood alignment and adjust latch engagement if needed.
• Recommended: verify secondary catch operation and test drive at low speed.
