Sounds to me like the latch needs a good cleaning and lube. Take off the interior panel, clean all latches and any moving parts. I had a problem where the rear lock wouldn't lock all the way. I cleaned all the moving parts, greased them up and haven't had a problem since.

Good luck.

T handle

I have the T handle and had the same problem. I tried to remove it but the whole thing was so rusted the studs broke instead of the nuts coming off. I
replaced mine with one from a "Vintage Parts Store" (Junk Yard) 10.oo The shaft in the handle was rusted also. I lubed up the used new one and it works like new.
