H&H Classic Parts - Hood Latches

The hood latches are designed to allow you to lock the hood down after you have closed it. These parts can become worn or damaged if the vehicle has been sitting in storage or has been involved in any front-end collision. They are metal, so they can become corroded or damaged from the elements. The assembly sits on the front support of the body, and when the hood is closed, it will lock into place. The release cable feeds into the hood latch. When you replace the hood latch, you want to use parts that are specifically designed for your Nova, or they may not fit properly. Improper fit can cause the latch to fail and the hood may never properly close, which allows dirt and water into the engine compartment. H&H Classic carries reproduction parts that are made to fit your Nova. When you have finished working on your hood, you will want to add a new hood latch lock, and you will find everything you need to do that now.
