Restore secure and reliable front trunk operation with the NEW OEM Tesla Hood Latch (Part Number: 1852434-00-C), a genuine Tesla replacement component engineered specifically for the Cybertruck. This OEM hood latch assembly is the primary locking mechanism for the Cybertruck's powered front trunk (frunk). Mounted within the front trunk structure, the latch securely engages the hood striker during closing to keep the front trunk safely locked while driving. It works in conjunction with the powered front trunk system, electronic release controls, sensors, and body control modules to provide smooth operation, dependable security, and proper hood alignment. Constructed from high-strength steel with precision-engineered internal components, durable engineering-grade polymers, and integrated electronic interfaces, this genuine Tesla latch is designed to withstand thousands of opening and closing cycles while maintaining consistent locking performance. Its corrosion-resistant finish protects against moisture, road debris, and harsh environmental conditions, ensuring long-lasting durability and dependable operation.

Follow Tesla-approved service procedures when replacing the hood latch assembly.
Support the front trunk lid securely and disconnect the low-voltage power system if required before servicing electrical components.
Inspect the hood striker, mounting brackets, wiring harnesses, electrical connectors, and surrounding components for wear, damage, or misalignment before installation.
Install the latch using the specified OEM hardware and tighten all fasteners to Tesla's recommended torque specifications.
Verify proper alignment between the latch and hood striker to ensure smooth engagement and secure locking.
Reconnect all electrical connectors and ensure wiring is routed away from moving components.
Perform any required calibration or initialization procedures for the powered front trunk system and verify proper latch operation, electronic release, soft-close functionality (if applicable), and safety features.
Professional installation is strongly recommended due to the latch's integration with the Cybertruck's powered front trunk and electronic control systems.
