CX-7 Tailgate Latch Sticking…Help

P5, CX-7
Lately, my tailgate latch handle has become stuck in the compressed position. I have to push it back to be able to close the the tailgate. I blasted WD-40 under and around the latch and it worked for awhile but now it seems sticky again.

Anyone experience this? I would like to get access to the linkage or mechanism which controls the handle and see whats going on and lubricate it the proper way. Is this a big undertaking?

Any help would be appreciated.
 
I know this post is old now but I have the same issue with my CX-7 (61 plate) so if anyone has any ideas I would be grateful
