This happened to my 87 Wolfsburg. The latch is a toggling push latch like those used on some cabinets with flush mount doors, and it had gotten crankier and crankier until it finally went on strike. I finally pried the table open. Turned out that (on that model, anyway) the catch was secured to either the body or the table (I forget which) with double-stick tape which separated before anything broke. You could replace it with another from a good woodworking supply shop. (BTW - Gary - did you ever fix it?)
