    Anybody have this happen? It looks like there’s two pins that hold it in place but I found the handle (just the plastic piece that you lift up on) on the ground. I can shove it back in and engage the latch to open, but if I let go it falls off again. Can I find the parts to fix this or do I just need a new latch assembly? Thanks!

    You need a new latch, you might have an aftermarket.

    It definitely is aftermarket. Thanks for the reply
