Abstract
A structure for mounting a horizontal hood latch to an automobile includes an upper panel of a front-end module and a bracket over-molded onto the upper panel of the front-end module. A pair of through-openings are provided on opposite side portions of the bracket that allow both surfaces of the bracket to be coated by plastic material and the bracket to be mounted onto the upper panel, as the plastic material is poured thereon.
