Honda Fit Stuck Rear Door/ Trunk/ Hatch Latch

This is not a fix, but shows what the issue with the hatch latch is. I have a 2010 Honda Fit Sport that i just recently bought this week and already this issue pops up. Of course like the rest of the Honda community the search online began. I didnt see too many answers or real fix.

But what i did discover myself is ( which isnt mentioned in my video ) is:
1. The spring to push the handle latch back, -it looks like Honda used a paper clip😡 so of course its not strong enough to push back

2. The white "knobby" will not roll down to the indent because the latch won't push back

Summary:
when you unlock doors + white knobby doesn't engage notch + squeeze the hatch handle + cable pulls latch + spring doesn't push back + latch stuck to the right = handle stuck (door stuck)

This might be a dealership fix..havent tried that yet.

Please comment below with any fixes or suggestions. Good luck 😁
