Locked trunk pops open while driving

Anyone experience this? Wondering if I need a new lock? If so, where to buy? Thanks.

I think the striker plate can be adjusted, might want to try that first.

I tried that but now the problem is worse. I had to use so wire now to keep the trunk closed. The hook latch is basically worn. Going to get the part tomorrow and replace the latch assembly. $40 from dealer. I guess after years of use, it's a 74, these things get worn out.
