Seat Latch
For some reason my latch on my seat has started to act up. Both trying to close and trying to open. Anyone have this problem? Any idea if a lube or something could fix this?

fix
so i put a water proof lubricant i bought at home depot on the u bolt that is on the seat. i also put it in the latch in the seat and things are a lot better. i alos put a flat head screw driver in the latch to make sure it was working ok. It isn't at 100% but it is def working almost perfect. If you have any other questions let me know.

How many miles / how much usage?
My lock was funky when I first got it: it was difficult to latch, and I assumed the parts needed to wear in. By 500/600 miles it started to close just fine.
Once I hit around 1200 miles though, it's started acting up - turning the key doesn't pop it up. A few times, it actually doesn't do anything (won't unlatch it either) - I need to tug the seat then try with the key again.
I'll try lubricant.
