This has occasionally made it impossible for me to latch the stirrup latch. When you re-opened the shells to check for obstructions you may have inadvertently repositioned the hasp solving your own predicament.

This happened to me last week. We lowered the rear shell, latched the door side, went around and stepped into the stirrup on the driver's side. It wouldn't latch. When I checked for the reason, I found that the bolt/nut part of the latch was caught under the shell. We unlatched, lifted a little, removed the travel latch. Then everything worked fine.
