Default T3 boot latch

Have any au owners here had a problem with the boot latch not working? Just started on the weekend, i have checked the latch and isn't broken. The remote boot release is fine, dam thing won't lock the boot though. Any ideas??

With a wing that size, the boot would sit down anyway, wouldn't it? LOL.

I haven't had this problem on either AU (yet), but had similar problems on an XE wagon. Turned out to be a spring in the mechanism that was stretched too much. New spring, problem solved. May be similar for yours?
