Boot won't lock shut

[Seandenyer]

Hi, does anyone know where I can get a new boot lock, ( the bit attached to the inside of the boot ) as my boot closes but the lock won't catch the bit on the boot properly , have adjusted many times but still won't lock

Are the two bolts done tight enough? Reason I ask is because mine would not latch due to loose bolts or that's what it seemed. The bolts were not actually loose it was the captive fixings inside the boot lid that had worked loose. I fixed this with a sets like steel epoxy resin squished around the captive nuts and left to set before tightening the bolts back up. Also use spring washers behind the two bolts. My striker plate would move a few mm every time I tried to close the boot which was enough to not allow it to latch. All works good again.

Hi, I've tried putting a screw driver in to the striker plate but the arm just won't move over it to stop me lifting it out if you know what I mean,
