I have a sundowner with a ramp. The latch won't go down low enough to go under the catch. I don't see a way to get to the latch without drilling out all the rivets. Any quick fixes? TIA!

Is your setup like this?

If so, is it the bar that is attached to the ramp? And if that is the case, is your latch lever been bent recently?

If the latch has a fair amount of movement, you need to see about moving the loop up. That should be only 1 bolt in the door, easy to get to.
The latches seldom give issues.

Check the mounting bolts on the hinge And the hinge itself... Seems if they got loose, the ramp would drop, leading to your problem.
