I own a 2003 Tiara 38 Open and experienced multiple failures of the head door latches (SOUTHCO Mobella MA-R9742RO) over the past 10 years. Have replaced the engine each time at a cost of $85 each... The failure has always been the spring internal to what is call the latch engine... See attached photo (It's brass in the lower left corner)... Has anyone else been having this problem???? Thanks in advance
