A latching mechanism for selectively securing a movable panel to a stationary member. The latching mechanism includes a latch for attachment to the movable panel and a striker for attachment to the stationary member. The latch includes an actuation arm having a blade and a base plate defining an aperture. The striker includes a post having a bulbous end disposable in the aperture and a slot extending inwardly from the bulbous end. The actuation arm is coupled to the base plate for movement between an engaged position where the blade is operably disposed in the slot and a released position where the blade is operably removed from the slot.
