Find out which part of the mechanism is responsible for the
latching action and fix it. This is the DIY group after all.

I thought it was also a forum for sharing knowldge. Hsaving looked,
there doesn't seem to be a latch or detent. I think something merely
goes 'over- centre'.
Hoped that someone had tried to fix this and wanted to share their
experience. It is fairly difficult to see how the parts react with
each other when it is turned over. Perhaps I need a 4-post lift!

There is a TV commercial for something that shows a guy working
underneath his sofa, with light and tools.
The fact that I can't remember what it is advertising shows how useless
it is.
