Mercury Capri Hood Latch

The Mercury Capri Hood Latch maintains a secure lock on the sporty bonnet, protecting key components while allowing drivers to conveniently pop it open for quick checks. The ingenious lock operates using an inside-the-cabin release handle, along with a cable that pulls on a catch held in place by a spring. There is a secondary safety catch that has to be lifted manually before the hood can rise. Thus, it will never fly up. The early models of Capri incorporated a steel latch and simple catch, while the later versions saw an upgrade to reinforced plastic housings and high-grade steel tongues to resist corrosion and absorb impact. The two-stage mechanism remained the same throughout. Owners can swap units without drilling new holes as both styles have the same mounting points. Every original equipment (OE) Hood Latch has corresponding safety latch kits and release assemblies engineered to the same dimensions as factory equipment for a perfect fit. The integrated construction ensures that every Mercury offers theft deterrence, crash safety, and easy service access, while every Capri benefits from Hood Latch reliability. Thus, the first step when checking the Mercury engine bay is to ensure that the Hood Latch snaps shut cleanly on the Capri, which helps to avoid a hit to the windshield. This Hood Latch is trusted by Mercury owners, season after season, to hold firmly.
