Installation recommendation

Before installation, compare the latch with the original component and check that all levers move freely and return correctly under spring tension.

Clean the mechanism if necessary and apply a suitable light lubricant to the pivot and contact points. Inspect the bonnet-release cable and striker for wear or damage and carefully adjust the bonnet alignment after installation.

Test the release mechanism several times before fully closing the bonnet. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with bonnet-lock adjustment.
