Wanzuwbip Front Hood Latch Assembly for Ford Fusion 2013–2020 — 2PCS Driver & Passenger Pair, Stamped Steel Durable Fit

Two direct-replacement front hood latch assemblies for Ford Fusion (2013–2020), sold as a driver and passenger side pair for easy, reliable hood closure and reduced rattles.

This Wanzuwbip two-piece hood latch kit replaces worn or damaged OEM units (compatible with part numbers DS7Z16701A / DS7Z-16701-A / DS7Z16701B / DS7Z-16701-B) and is engineered to fit Fusion models from 2013 through 2020. Constructed from stamped steel and finished for durability, the pair restores secure hood locking, helps prevent false alarms caused by loose latches, and diminishes vibration noise. The assemblies are designed for bolt-on installation using the vehicle’s original mounting points, so no drilling or permanent modifications are required.

How does this hood latch kit improve hood security and reduce noise?

Each latch is made from stamped steel shaped to hold the hood nose firmly in place under normal driving stresses. A tight fit reduces movement that can lead to rattles, false alarm triggers, or premature wear of the latch components. The result is a steadier, quieter hood and fewer unexpected openings or alarm events.

• Stamped-steel construction resists bending under load
• Precise locking geometry minimizes hood movement and vibration
• Reduces false alarm triggers tied to loose hood sensors
• Helps prevent accidental hood openings while driving

Will these latches fit my Ford Fusion 2013–2020 model?

Yes — the kit is manufactured as a direct OE-style replacement for the front hood latches of Ford Fusion vehicles from model years 2013 through 2020. It matches common OEM reference numbers and is shaped to the same mounting and latch locations as the factory parts.

• Compatible with DS7Z16701A / DS7Z-16701-A / DS7Z16701B / DS7Z-16701-B
• Designed for both driver and passenger front latch positions
• Fits Fusion sedans across the 2013–2020 production span
• Sold as a two-piece kit so both sides match and function together

How difficult is the installation and what should I watch for?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic automotive work: remove the old assembly, re-route the hood release cable, and secure the new latch using the OE bolts. Proper alignment of the latch body and lock nose is crucial; misalignment can cause closure problems, leaks, or abnormal noises. Apply even pressure during installation and check hood operation several times after mounting.

• Bolt-on replacement — no drilling or cutting required
• Align lock body to latch nose to avoid binding or wear
• Test open/close motions and adjust striker position if needed
• Re-check mounting torque and cable routing after first drive
