A stuck, loose, or rusted hood latch is more than an annoyance; it is a safety issue that leaves your 1983-1993 Mustang's hood unsecured at speed. All Classic Parts replaces the failed OEM unit with a direct-fit steel latch that restores the positive engagement the factory intended.
Keeps the hood securely closed. The latch provides firm, reliable engagement every time, eliminating the play, rattle, or partial-catch behavior that comes from worn or corroded OEM hardware.
A direct replacement for the original latch. This unit corresponds to OEM part number E6DZ-16700-A, so it fits the factory mounting points without modification. Restoring original functionality takes nothing more than basic hand tools and a straightforward swap of the old hardware.
Built to last with steel construction and a black finish. A durable steel build handles the vibration and heat cycles of everyday driving, and the black finish adds a layer of corrosion resistance to keep the latch functioning cleanly over time.
