Reviews for Daystar KJ09146BK Hood Wranglers for 97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ

Last me for 14 years

These will solve hood fludder. They are quite stiff at first but they loosen up and fit nicely over time. It's so nice not having my hood bounce on the interstate. Instructions state to install in 70° or warmer temperature. They are actually Made in USA too!

Had replaced the original hood latch rubbers in 2007 with the Daystar replacements, they were very stiff, so like a rubber band before installing them, I set them in the sun on the dash for about a half hour, then secured a M10x2.5" bolt in my bench vise with one end over the trapped bolt and using a Phillips screwdriver through the outer end hole and pulled and twisted for about 5 mins to pre-stretch, doing both and installed. They were still tight but I got them in with very little effort. They have lasted ten years,just noticed driver side is cracked so I am ordering a new set. Recommended.

They do a great job of keeping the hood down tight! I had to drive my Jeep about 1700 miles home after buying it and was amazed at how much the hood moved, especially in strong winds. A friend suggested new hold downs so picked these up and they work great.

These are great. I used two vice grips to twist and snap off the old pins. The rubber is stiffer and the hood is snapped securely. No longer will the hood buffet in the wind.

Much stiffer than stock and now no hood flutter.

Excellent product, quick and easy install and of course Quality Quadratec price, shipping and service.

Eliminates hood flutter.

I've had these for about a year now and they're still as tight as when I first installed them. Previously used another brand and they would only last 3-6 months. Awesome product.

Easy installation and works like a charm. Much stronger than the factory clamps. We always appreciate the fast shipping too.
