My main reason to purchase the AMF adjustable hood latch for my 2023 SXR was to match my AMF
handlepole. Some “bling” is always a good thing. My stock SXR hood was a little loose after only a few
months of riding but I was mainly buying the latch for aesthetics. I was wrong. This is first and foremost
a functional top notch quality product machined from billet aluminum and includes stainless
hardware(nylon lock nut) that is now a must have on all my stand up skis. Once I had the latch installed
and adjusted I was stunned by how much better secured the heavy stock SXR hood is to the hull. If you
have a SXR you need one of these. It just so happens that they look good too. Mine did not come with
any instructions but they are pretty easy to install. HOWEVER, you ABSOLUTELY MUST APPLY HEAT to the
Phillips head screw and MUST use the proper sized Phillips head bit to remove the stock hood latch pin.
After the Phillips head screw is loosened you simply remove the Phillips head screw and the cotter pin
and the latch pin slides out. The stock latch is then replaced by the AMF latch and replace latch pin,
replace the cotter pin(new one) and retighten the Phillips head(use thread locking compound). Adjusting
tension is simple with an Allen wrench. Prepared to be amazed at how much more solid the hood is
secured.
