Mine used to pop open now and again no matter how carefully I shut it. Bit of light engineering oil (or engine oil) on the moving parts of the latch sorted it for me. Try that as the adjustment should never really go out, unless you open it every day or it's had a front ender.

I had this happen after only a few month of buying my 1993 WRX. I just gave the latch mechanism a liberal soaking of WD40 and repeatedly moved the latch back and forth by hand until nice and free moving. Has been fine since.
Try the above... but then also add light oil to it as mentioned e.g. 3-in-1 or sewing machine oil - you should be good to go after that
