The Volvo 240 Hood Latch enables the car to lock the hood in a two-step reliable process that prevents the hood from flying away at high speed, protecting engine parts and providing drivers with constant confidence. A cabin handle, heavy cable, and a spring-loaded catch work together to allow one to release the main clamp, and a safety hook holds the panel until pushed by hand. It is designed to block the prying force of wind and road shock on the hood to keep air moving over the radiator and carrying away rain and debris. All the sedans, wagons, and two-door models in the 240 family from 1974 to 1993 are compatible with the same mechanism, meaning that owners can swap between 242, 244, and 245 bodies with no additional equipment. The release is placed in 240 cabins just below the steering column so that drivers do not need to look elsewhere while in traffic. The steel in the housing is coated with thick-gauge zinc to fight rust, and the tempered spring maintains tight tension even when the spring is applied thousands of times. Check the Hood Latch cable for stickiness and apply a dab of grease on the jaws for years of crisp movement. The Hood Latch does not have open racing pins, thus remaining under the sheet metal so that it does not change the factory appearance and provides strength that is proven on the track. This is a traditional Volvo part representing safety, which is connected to crumple zones to make the front end strong. Owners have confidence in Volvo quality of the product since the latch can last through icy winters, dusty summers, and salty coasts with very minimal maintenance. Real Volvo steel is added to the part to provide the service life which competitors usually overlook.
