Latch won't latch
I've searched high and low for an answer to my problem. I just got back from a 700 mile weekend ride (I love Texas 
) and after getting all my gear out of my right bag, I tried to close and latch the lid. The damned latch won't "latch"
I tried turning the handlebars and moving the bike, thinking maybe the bag was tweaked or something where it was sitting, but that did not work.
I can push it closed, and lock it...but...I'm the type that I want things to work right.
Is there a way to adjust the latch? If so, how?
Any insight would be much appreciated.
BTW..my scoot in a 09 FLHT.

It was more of a too tight feeling when trying to latch it; like something was in the way. I made myself calm down and actually diagnose the issue. For whatever reason, the fabric that stops the lid from falling completely off when opened was not folding correctly, and was getting caught between the lid and bag.
Thanks for your help.

Finally got it out of the Ol Lady that she just shoved some stuff in there and "pushed the lid hard" to get it to close. GRRRRR.
I smoothed out the crease in the fabric that was causing it to fold under the lid and not allow it to latch. All is well and good
