Bonnet stay

What are the possible causes of the bonnet stay refusing to latch? I know someone will be tempted to say “because it’s broken, dummy!” My right support just started this today🙃

failed to mention, this is a Bugeye🙂
 
The telescoping stays on the sides of the bonnet?
Every now and then I have one that won’t latch and it takes a couple of tries to get it to catch.
I’ve seen some where the latch tooth inside was worn and finally gave up.
 
That’s probably what’s happening. Usually I just try a couple times and it will finally latch.
