Engine Hood Lock Striker Assembly

About this product

The Engine Hood Lock Striker Assembly (#64480-42010), a crucial Body part in the Hood Lock & Hinge system, primarily serves to secure the hood of the vehicle when closed. In operation, it functions as the receiving end of the hood latch mechanism, holding the hood firmly in place and preventing it from lifting while the vehicle is in motion. Like all components, the striker assembly isn’t invincible. An aged, broken, or non-functional striker assembly might not hold the hood securely, posing a risk of the hood opening unexpectedly during driving, potentially causing accidents. Genuine Toyota parts like the Engine Hood Lock Striker Assembly (#64480-42010) offer vehicle compatibility and are supported by Toyota’s genuine parts warranty. Regular replacement of this part contributes to the safety of the vehicle, maintaining the hood’s secure closure and preventing dangerous occurrences.
