Re: Hatch rod/latch adjustment?

OK, so I am having a similar, but different problem.

The right side of the hatch latches easily.

The left side of the hatch latches only if you press the hatch inward at the lower left corner far enough (1/4") for the latch to engage.

It will then stay engaged unless you hit any large bumps at which poin the hatch may become unlatched.

I have tried shimming the catch outward from the bed side, but that doesn't seem to help.

There does not seem to be much of a way to move that latch back to front.

I was beginning to consider a hinge adjustment, but would prefer to avoid that as my hatch is starting to crack at the hinges.

Any ideas?
