APPERFiT Hood Latch Strap Kit 2-Pack — Direct-Fit for Kenworth & Peterbilt, Rubber Straps with Metal Catch Brackets

APPERFiT Hood Latch Strap & Catch Bracket Kit is a two-pack replacement assembly that secures the front engine hood on compatible Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks, restoring reliable hold-down function.

If the original hood hold-down straps on your heavy-duty truck have cracked, stretched, or failed, this APPERFiT kit provides a direct-fit repair set built to match OEM dimensions. The kit includes two straps, two hook catches, two mounting brackets and fasteners, so you can replace both driver- and passenger-side assemblies at once. Constructed from durable materials and designed for years of exposure to road, oil, and weather, this replacement set fits a wide range of Kenworth and Peterbilt models produced between 1987 and 2011.
