⚠️ Installation & Safety Warning: Replacing the hood lock bracket is a safety-critical procedure. CRITICAL:

Trim Disassembly: Access requires removing the upper front grille trim and frunk front panel. Disconnect all sensor and camera connectors before prying. Use plastic trim tools only.
Alignment Check: After installation, verify the hood striker alignment. Misalignment causes hood bounce, latch failure, or wind noise.
Torque Spec: Tighten mounting bolts to 10-12 Nm. Do NOT use impact wrenches. Over-torquing strips threads or deforms the bracket.
Safety Test: Perform a drop test (close hood from 30cm) to verify secure latching. NEVER drive if the hood does not lock firmly or if the dashboard shows "Hood Open".
