Cargo latch repair or replacement

I need to fix or replace a cargo storage latch. It won’t stay pushed in. I like that I have a key to lock bins and hoped I could fix the one I have so it will stay pushed in and then I can lock it. Any help would be appreciated.

The square metal “loop” the latch attaches to is adjustable.

When I got my unit, I spent a couple of hours adjusting all the latches as a couple of the doors wouldn't stay shut. Adjustment is all that was needed.

I have to admit that tops on my list of "warning lights I'd like to have" is one that indicates "Compartment door open".

I have a 2002 Georgetown 325. Shortly after I got it I had trouble with some of the cargo latches. I ended up taking them apart, cleaning with WD-40 and re-installing. That's all they needed, a little cleaning.

I have the same issue with my 1999 Georgetown storage latches. Some are broken beyond repair also. Are there any recommendations on where to purchase replacements?
