Default tailgate latch

Hi folks,
can anyone tell me if my tailgate latch can be fixed? since i've owned the car, there has been a trick to open the tailgate. you had to kinda push in as you pulled the handle to open the tailgate. well that trick doesn't work anymore, and it's a real pain crawling thru the cargo area, and opening it from the inside. woulda been easier 20 yrs & 20 lbs ago. Is this maybe a common problem? I've checked a couple online parts places, and can't find a replacement, so if anyone knows of a fix, PLEASE help or where might I get a repair or replacement part?
BTW/ `94 850 wag 180k+ western NY climate.
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Default RE: tailgate latch

did you try adjusting the striker plate? It is held on with two T40 torx screws.
