Do you say that the latch no longer stays down in the locked position after pushing it down with a screw driver? Or has the latch come loose from the 3 fender bolts and slipped down (unlikely).
Make sure you push the release handle forward after pulling it to release the latches. The cable could be getting rusty. If this is the problem, take the cable off the latch and pour 3in1 oil down the cable sheath to free it up.
If the latch can be opened by pulling up with a screw driver, then you will need to get another latch.
