TopFire Side Hood Latches Jeep Wrangler JL 2018+ — set
A set of TopFire side hood latches for the Jeep Wrangler JL from 2018. The job of the set is to secure the bonnet against being opened — both against unwanted hands in a car park and against the panel lifting at speed. In the photo the set holds a pair of levers, the catch plates and a full set of fasteners with an Allen key.
TopFire Side Hood Latches — Jeep Wrangler JL
The Wrangler's factory bonnet is held by a catch and the hinges. Side latches add two more holding points out by the wings — the panel is harder to lift when parked and moves less at speed or over rough ground.
The supplier lists the application as Jeep Wrangler JL from 2018 and describes the product as protection against the bonnet being opened.

Fitting and notes
The supplier provides no instructions and does not say whether fitting needs drilling into the bonnet and the body. The photo does show a full set of bolts, nuts, washers and an Allen key, so the fasteners are at least in the box.
The supplier does not state what the levers and catch plates are made of. If the latches are meant to work as anti-theft protection rather than as styling, ask the seller directly about the material and whether the catch is key-lockable.
Frequently asked questions
Does fitting require drilling?
The supplier does not say. It is worth asking the seller before you buy.
Are the latches key-lockable?
The description says nothing about it, and the photo shows a lever with a catch but no lock barrel.
Do they fit the Gladiator JT?
The supplier lists the Jeep Wrangler JL from 2018 only. Fitment to the Gladiator would need confirming.
