Unblot it and experiment with it, you will figure it out.

Tried all sorts but it just wont catch.. the latch in tailgate doesnt seem to be catching the latch.

It should snap closed on its own. Probably something worn, and locking mechanism not fully disengaging or a little sticky. I replaced one in my sisters car for that.

It comes out pretty easy, but you might need to remove the door card which may lead to broken bits.

Mine sticks occasionally, I find if you leave it open and lock/unlock the car several times from the driver’s door it frees it up.
