Replace FO1233101 - 2008 Ford Escape Hood Latch Support Factory OE Style Part

Hood Latch Support by Replace®. This is an aftermarket part that replaces factory OE #8L8Z16C750A. When a vehicle is in a front end collision, the minor components must be evaluated for reuse as carefully as the major panels. For example, if faulty or damaged hood components are reused, a replacement hood may not appear or function properly. And if you've found the cost of new hood components at the dealer exorbitant, then look to Replace. Replace has quality replacement hood components that are identical to original equipment (OE) for much less than the OE price.

Features:

• Same quality as OE for less money
• Designed with the latest software and manufactured with modern tooling
• Direct replacement
• Installs the same as factory unit
• Same dimensions as OE part
• Same gauge metal as OE
• No vehicle modifications required for installation
• Backed by a limited lifetime warranty

A worn or damaged hood latch support may not allow the hood to latch or align properly. Fatigued hood hinge springs or lift supports may no longer support the hood. And damaged hood moldings, panel inserts or cowl scoops will detract from the appearance of the hood. These and other hood components should be evaluated and replaced with new if necessary to perform a proper hood repair.

In the past your options for replacing a damaged hood component were finding a good used one, buying a cheap replacement, or paying big bucks for an OE hood component. Searching for a useable component from a scrap yard is a waste of time, because you may end up owning a component that's in even worse condition. And many cheap replacement components don't fit properly and aren't even made of the proper gauge metal.

Today you can fix your car or truck properly and have money left in your pocket with a new quality replacement hood component from Replace. Replace offers OE quality body parts at less than original equipment prices. You get the same quality part that you'd get at the dealer without the high dealer price. A Replace hood component will look and fit just like a hood component from the dealer, so your vehicle will look new again. Replace hood components are designed using the latest software so they exactly replicate the OE units, then they're manufactured using the most modern tooling, so the end product looks and fits exactly as designed. A Replace hood component is made to the same dimensions as OE with the same gauge steel.

Body repair is expensive enough without paying more than necessary for quality parts. A Replace hood component is the sensible alternative to the high dealer price markup. A Replace hood component will get you back on the road in a car or truck that looks brand new, without breaking the bank. Replace is so confident in the quality of its hood components that they're backed by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for as long as the original purchaser owns the vehicle on which the part is installed. This includes perforation (metal rust-through) due to corrosion in normal use.

Replace® is dedicated to providing original equipment (OE) quality body parts and lights without the high OE price. Rather than deal with so-called "universal" parts that may or may not fit your vehicle, Replace sells only parts that have OE quality fit, function and appearance. They believe such parts should be affordable so you can repair your vehicle to its former state, restoring your pride of ownership and preserving its resale value. With Replace parts you can just say no to high dealer prices.
