Hi There,

Just solved my problem....I had a very weak latching mechanism which i suspected wasn't correct, you could use a screwdriver as the pin (staple) and trigger the catch, but then you could pull it back out quite easily!

Just took the latch off (remove boot trim, via the pdfs in the tech dump) and it looked a little splayed on the end, quick tweak in the vice and it closed up and made the latch less wobbly and it now catches firmly. Re-install and i have a working boot that pulls down and locks properly
