Or you could wedge a piece of rubber at the front edge where it opens to keep it closed. Maybe a tab broke and can be glued back....take it out and take a look.

Be gentle in closing it - VERY gentle - if too fast it often didn't fasten on my '15 (97,000+ miles) or, now, on my '19 with but 5,700 miles

Nutty expensive.

I hope hope, at least once, to be surprised how inexpensive an automobile part is.
