I think Mopar actually sells a hood lock as well. Basically the same device as the bolt however the opening in the plastic insert is in a slightly different location.There's an aftermarket device called a Bolt hood lock that can be installed in the center most grill insert to manually lock your hood down with a key. If you don't have that key lock or don't plan to install one, get the version without the hole for it.

Thanks. I cut my opening according to the template, been wanting to replace it. It looks nice and clean.Nope.
The hole is in exactly the same location.
Here is a '24 grill with the factory hole on my '22 JLUS with a BOLT lock.
