S550 Mustang Install: Quik-Latch Black QL-25 Series 1" Diameter Mini Latch Assembly

[@wilhernandez91]

Wow these quik latch kits blew up, when I got mine installed it wasn't seen much now I see everyone with them. These latches are amazing!!!

[@quany9113]

Can these be used on a 2014 ?

[@jesuscardenas732]

@@quany9113 yes

[@CalvinGong]

For those that don't like the look of the quick latch, you can salvage the piece by impregnating the bumper and lip piece with some fine mesh from a food strainer and a flat tip soldering iron. Doesn't add thickness if done correctly and pretty rigid.

[@jjs070470]

The description for this video should be revised. This install and product will not work on 2018+ as the brackets are similar but not quite the same.

[@blainecouch5535]

How do you fix the 2018+ with this issue?

[@pa4o93ir49]

I cut out the hole with a knife because I didn’t have a big enough drill bit 😂 it was off a little but looks better than the bumper sticking out on my mustang

[@JesseAndMike]

Cool! Nice install video!

[@pitmasterhog8726]

Another great video. Thanks Bill

[@jameswhite8453]

As usual a well made video. Thank you. Bill, have you heard anything about a Ford Performance Power Pack 2 for the 2018 Mustangs? 2018 production is over and still no Power Pack 2.

[@elz1250]

Dang where was this vid when my dad bumped my bumper on a pole a while back, my bumper came loose at the same spot he's putting the latch.

[@CruisinCaptures]

I think you need a bigger band on that watch.

[@lorenzohernandez9040]

Definitely needed this! Great video!

[@fourcekin]

My rear bumper clips are weak, is this possible on the rear?

[@drewdalesandro672]

Saved me a lot of money!

[@JuanPulid0]

Hey i just bought the 1.5" diameter one. Which step drill bit will I need to for the bumper hole? Thanks

[@Zer0TX]

Am I correct in saying this issue doesn't apply to 2018-23 "Gen3" cars? .... I've only seen the 15-17's with the issue. IMO, major fail on Ford's part, and I'm surprised someone hasn't come up with a solution that keeps the car looking stock.

[@cjponyparts]

Correct! Ford made a change to the bumper design on the 18-23 GT and Ecoboost that is way less prone to damage.

[@crowdkilleryote]

There is a zip tie fix that works well and leaves the car looking stock. Proven to hold up to high speed and all.

[@waterdown1826]

Beautiful

[@frankiebpr]

Is it possible to purchase a factory clip.

[@brian8431]

Do you have to use thread lock also on the hood pins?

[@peterwho9380]

Got the same installed on my 16 S550 but my installers didn't use lock tight and I'm constantly having to re-tighten the quick latch! Now even the quick release features isn't releasing from the base and on stuck mode!

[@SunnySingh-xx6uo]

I installed these on my 16 GT, however i wasn't able to retain the black rectangular support bracket. When i try to install/keep it it pushes my bumper too far out and prevents the latch from engaging and getting a flush install. Without it, it seats perfectly and aligns they way it should. Any suggestions?

[@cjponyparts]

Make sure the bracket is seated properly and not sticking up because of the pin. The bracket is not 100% necessary but usually provides a better surface for alignment.

[@dns1273]

Just installed on our 2017, had the same issue and shaved down the plastic bracket with a dremel and a sander. Fiddly but fits much neater

[@quany9113]

Will it work for a 2014 GT ?

[@ToxicatedValentine]

Hey, Bill. I'm in the market to buy the quik-latch for my s550. Would I need the assist springs as well or will I get by? Thanks!

[@cjponyparts]

The springs will make it easier to remove but I don't feel they are needed. For something like a hood yes since you open it often but you probably aren't removing your front bumper that often.

[@ToxicatedValentine]

@@cjponyparts 10-4! Thanks! Placed my order last week on the latches.

[@renegarcia7591]

Bro you don’t have to get a quick latch just go to your local body shop and they’ll simply apply some black glue let it dry and it works great for only 20 bucks

[@ToxicatedValentine]

@@renegarcia7591 Already have the latches. Doesn't look bad on a black vehicle so no complains here.

[@ROSAS_PRIDE]

@@ToxicatedValentine link please. Can't find em on site

[@xman4328]

Why not use Dzus tabs like a pro? And a lot cheaper!!!

[@alhell1285]

I barely can see anything. A brighter car would have been better in sense of a install vid.

[@charleshenson4183]

Al year They used black because black on black isn't as noticeable & hidious looking as most all other colors will be.

[@Zerogivengarage]

We used black because that was the car that had a broken bumper.

[@charleshenson4183]

Bill Tumas do a white one so we can see how that looks 😁

[@MrGlockshna]

I imagine they didn't just break the bumper of this car for the purposes of making an install video lol. This is likely what they had.

[@Josefrancisco1224]

Option 3 use jb weld and never brake like I did still on after 2years

[@infA111ous]

Jose Velasquez please explain more

[@Josefrancisco1224]

Now can weld the plastic on any bumper you can buy a weld kit and fix you bumper and it’s like nothing happen that’s how it looks like after

[@ParthPatel-vd5cv]

I have a inch gap cause my clips are broken and they won’t line up

[@kevinmanuel5187]

Damn wish I knew about this 2 months ago. Just replaced the bumper .... $700 after parts and paint

[@rebel3five]

Kevin Manuel damm. I was literally thinking of doing the same and KZbin just saved me a ton of money! Sorry about the big expense

[@ابوالمهندابوالمهند-ي9ي]

Hey Welcome to your channel I have a question What is the best type after Mustang Shalaby? How many prices in America are used?

[@redbluepill2701]

33

[@RepoDraghon]

Option 3, Zip ties

[@memetime4429]

100% there will be a man that will steal your bumper :D

[@Kzxo]

Just because there’s a quick latch on the side of the bumper doesn’t mean you can take off the bumper easily… there’s like 8 screws up top, 10 on bottom and numerous push pins everywhere lol

[@ibrahimwehbe3274]

Song name?

[@michaelq3174]

I would figure a way to zip tie it or SOMETHING else before all that. Just not a fan of how that looks. At all…

[@pauljace9352]

Sounds like Jimmy Kimmel

[@quany9113]

Can this be used on a s197 ?
