Consumer Description

MY WIFE NOTICED 'HOOD FLUTTER' ON OUR JEEP RIGHT AFTER WE BOUGHT IN AND IMMEDIATELY FOUND THE 'RUGGED RIDGE HOOD CATCHES' ON AMAZON, ORDERED THEM (AT A COST OF $113.99 + TAX TO US) AND HAD ME INSTALL THEM, BEFORE WE LEFT LAS VEGAS FOR WISCONSIN TO RETURN HOME. WE WERE GOING ABOUT 75MPH TRAVELING FROM COLORADO SPRINGS TO LAS VEGAS, NV, ON I-25 AND I-40, AND EVEN THOUGH SHE IS LEGALLY BLIND SHE COULD SEE THE HOOD BOUNCING AROUND. IT SEEMED WORSE WHEN TRAVELING INTO A HEADWIND, BUT WAS STILL NOTICEABLE WITH A CROSSWIND. THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE THE RUBBER LATCHES THAT ARE USED TO HOLD THE JEEPS HOOD DOWN WERE STRETCHING ALLOWING THE HOOD TO MOVE ON OUR 2 DAY OLD JEEP.
