Having trouble with your Dodge Ram’s hood latching securely? This is a genuine OEM MOPAR front hood latch striker, part number 68078813AA (supersedes 68235434AA). It’s brand new in the original MOPAR packaging, made in the USA. Fits Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models from 2009 through 2017. This striker is the piece on the hood that catches the latch — if it’s worn, bent, or rusted, your hood might not close right or could pop open while driving. This is a direct replacement, OE-spec part, so it bolts right on without modification. MOPAR backs it with a 2-year warranty, which is awesome. Includes certifications to match factory standards. Mounting hardware isn’t included, but you can likely reuse your existing bolts. California Prop 65 warning applies — may contain chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive harm. A simple but crucial repair — a loose hood is dangerous. Easy to install with basic tools: just a few bolts, align it, and tighten. Keeps your hood safely shut. Perfect for DIYers, fleet maintenance, or anyone wanting to stick with genuine MOPAR parts for their Ram truck.
