Here is a picture of the tonneau cover latch:



Indeed, it is the one that gets locked with the open 10-mm wrench if needed. See pizzaguy's video: https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...operation.html

Is there an obstruction in the storage well, that doesn't allow the top to fold down completely and thus the catch on the storage cover (tonneau cover) doesn't quite make it far enough into the latch?

If there is a lot of dirt in the latch, then the mechanism may be sticky that indicates the catch from the tonneau cover has arrived. Basically, the hydraulic cylinder in the latch is pressurized before the cover is all the way down, but the cylinder cannot close the latch before the catch from the tonneau cover has pushed a mechanical trigger inside the latch, and that trigger could be a bit jammed from a bunch of dirt...
