Budd,
        Is that the table recessed into the wall? If so, I posted the same ??
couple of months ago.
Pushing the table at the bottom no longer released the latch.
        I ended up prying the table loose with a carpenter's pry bar (thin, j
shaped with nail puller notch). The latch separated from the table and it
was free. 3 or 4 listees suggested that approach and one suggested removing
the cabinetry and side wall (his latch was still stuck but he could unscrew
it from the table rather than breaking it loose.
        The problem then becomes: how do you secure the table when not in use. I am
using a flat wood paint stirrer wedged between the rear seat mount and the
wall low to the floor. Still looking for a new latch or a better means of
holding it in place without drilling any holes.
        Let me know what your solution is.
Regards,
