Just had this with mine mate, I had to have the two cables that pull the clasps down changed, not very expensive think cables are about £15 each

does anything click when you try to shut it...if so your flap motor is shot..if not the bowden cables need adjusting so as to pull the hooks down a bit further ,,,if they wont adjust any more you need two new ones
