  Striker, Striker Assembly Hood Lock

• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford hood latch striker catalogued under base number 16K689, used on 21-25 Ford Mustang Mach-E models. Ford lists the part as a hood latch striker plate lock, the formed striker that mounts to the hood and engages the latch on the body so the hood pulls down, catches and stays securely closed at highway speed. The striker is the hardened loop or plate the latch grips, and it must hold the hood firmly against the seals and aligned with the front-end panels. A buyer shopping for this striker is typically replacing one that is bent, broken, corroded, or worn so the hood will not latch reliably, sits high, rattles, or triggers a hood-ajar warning, conditions that compromise hood security. Because the striker is what the latch grabs, a damaged or misaligned striker prevents a secure hood closure and must be renewed. Built to Ford OEM specifications, this striker matches the hood mounting location, height and geometry the Mach-E latch requires for correct fitment, with adjustment to set proper hood flush and latch engagement. Installing the genuine striker restores a secure, properly aligned hood closure, correct latch engagement, and reliable hood-ajar sensing for safe operation at speed.
