Frequently asked questions

What is the bonnet staple and what does it do?
The bonnet staple is the fixed engagement point in the Defender's hand-operated bonnet locking assembly. Mounted to the bonnet panel, it interfaces with the rotary catch to hold the bonnet closed and locked on Defender models up to 2006.
Where does the bonnet staple fit on the Defender?
The bonnet staple mounts to the bonnet panel and locates into the bonnet lock mechanism on the Defender. It's the part the catch grips, so alignment with the lock is what lets the bonnet latch cleanly.
Which Defenders does this bonnet staple fit?
This bonnet staple fits the Land Rover Defender up to 2006 with the hand-operated bonnet locking assembly. Confirm your bonnet uses the rotary catch and staple setup rather than a later arrangement before ordering.
