Well, After several more trys I came up with the following
- buffing-polishing/WD40 metal surfaces (latch) (as Valerie recommended)
- I then bent the top metal bracket back that apparently allowed the latch
to catch properly
- ensured the two long screws holding the wood dash weren't overly tight
and this all did the trick (at least for today).
Thanks for Valerie's and Dick's suggestions
