Reviews for Daystar Hood Wranglers for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
Great. Have used others; these are the best. tight fit. No hood chatter.
This is one of the first things I bought and installed when I bought my used ‘14 JKU. A friend who has been Jeeping for years recommenced them. While I didn’t encounter hood flutter, these are definitely stronger then the stock pieces. Just be aware they take a bit of muscle to close the first time or two but heat from regular use made them just right and tight. Definitely recommended.
These are a great product but they are a tight fit. When replacing your original latches they work easier then when you are replacing the latches that you have already replaced once. My first pair lasted 5 years and started to develop cracks. These latches have LOC TIGHT on the threads of the screws to make sure they don't come loose. Great safety feature. However when you go to take off the old latch straps they are hard to unscrew. You need to pair of vice grips one on each side of the screws that hold the latch straps so you can unscrew them for replacement. Two screw drivers do not provide enough torque to unscrew them. A drill will just eat up the screw head so use the vice grips and it works great. The screws really set up tight after years of use. It is a great product and designed for safety.
Nice, tight fit. No flutter!
Best value for your dollar to eliminate hood flutter.
The hood of my 2017 would bounce so violently it was frightening. I've had these for two years or so in MN and there are no signs of deterioration and the hood has been rock solid since. FYI the first time opening and closing the latch with these will be difficult, after that, they're good.
A must have! I have installed these in every Wrangler I have owned. Work Great. Very tight fit & keep hood closed tight. No more hoof flutter! Highly recommend!
Easy to install and holds hood down tight.
Boys these work well. No hood flutter like with the stock ones. Easy to install and are worth doing.
Replaced factory latches, hood is locked down tight now.
No more hood flutter on the highway !!
