^^ i would doubt that the oem hood latch can be purchased seperately, but that would be a great bonus 2 us if it could be. keep us posted Mamamia

 

This happened with my car. Above 60mph it would start to bobble so I got some hood pins.

 

Thanks. I hate hood pins but I'd hate to have my hood pop up at speed more.

 

i think it is normal for the hood to move a little bit. Imo hood pins on a stock hood are far from necessary.

 

My brother had the hood flip up on him going down the road and it was stock. I think the hook was a bit worn and gave out though.

 

just called Ray and he informed me that the latch is welded to the hood so it's not available to purchase separately. I am going to call Shine to see if they will fix it for me.

i had to install some hood pins on mine, could risk it any longer. did u ever talk to Ken?

 

i saw on my friends 3rd gen, the hook thats attached to the underside of the hood was worn thru about 1/8th of an inch.

He got hood pins.

Check your hook & latch for wear and tear. Maybe if its worn down you can source a replacement.

 

Duct tape around the hood latch fixed that for me, although its ghetto. No one sees it but me .
