Direct-Fit Hood Latch

The Fairchild F4089 is a non-locking hood latch manufactured for the 1978 and 1979 Ford Bronco. It replaces the original equipment part numbered D5UZ16700A. This component is intended for owners restoring or maintaining the hood release mechanism on these specific model years.

Factory-Style Construction

The latch is built to match the dimensions and mounting points of the original hood hardware. Its non-locking design reproduces the standard factory operation for the Bronco hood. The part installs in the stock location without modification to the surrounding bodywork or release cable routing.
