Default Hatch Lock

My latch has a mind of its own. It will open sometimes but most of the time it won't. So i have to pull the cord under the seat to open it. Anyone else delt with this problem? Please help

I'd try the obvious first , flush the latch out with WD40 and then relube with white lithium
mine picks up loads of road dirt and gets crusty

I tried that. I think it might have something to do with the release button on the hatch. It doesnt always pop open.
