Try pushing the latch with a screwdriver while the boot is open, you should see how it is meant to work.

Not a great deal involved in removing the latch completely, so that it can be serviced properly.
The only 'adjustment' possible is to part of the latch in the boot lid, which, if not touched since the car was built, is invariably in need of tightening up slightly.
