Yeah that happens (the latch). Apparently they changed the latch design on the V70's to make it a bit cheaper than the 850 ones. Mine broke, and I replaced it with an 850 latch (which is a tank). However I can't use the rear key hole, but it works fine otherwise (not that I care about using the key on the trunk). The V70 latch mech is allot cheaper to replace than the 850 one. The install is very easy.
