Default Convertible top latch question

So the passenger side latch on my 2005 seems a bit "loose"? It latches and unlatches just fine but it feels different than the driver side one. Mostly the little button you have to depress to actuate it needs a little wiggle to work sometimes. So is there an adjustment I can do or something else to get it tight again?
TIA

Ok, I went out to have a look, didn't need to remove the latches just needed to open them up and have a look. Both of those little buttons have a pair of screws holding them down, mine only had one screw on each side and they were backing out. So I removed them put a dab of blue Lock tight on each and tightened them up and now all is well. Now to track down a couple more screws and washers and put them on.
While I was out playing with the car I also changed out coil 1 and 2 and turned off the CEL. Went for a short ride but didn't re-trigger a CEL.
