    It could be a broken spring inside the latch - mine failed and I had to rope the bootlid down. I pulled the latch apart (had to grind some rivets from memory) and found the return spring inside the latch had gone. Found a similar looking one and bodgied it up...still going after 2 years. I think it's fairly common.
