Mercedes Hood Lock - Vaico 2218800264

Product Information

A hood lock (also called a hood latch) is a mechanical locking device that secures the vehicle’s hood in place when closed. It typically works with a release cable and safety catch, ensuring the hood stays shut during driving while still allowing access to the engine bay when needed.

• Hood not closing or latching securely, leaving it loose or partially open.
• Difficulty opening the hood, often due to a stuck or corroded latch mechanism.
• Rattling or unexpected hood release while driving, creating a serious safety hazard if the lock fails completely.
