Boot

Hi 

I have a Ford Fiesta 2011 1.2 Petrol. The boot opens by itself while driving not all of the time but very regular. If I close the boot it will then deadlock and won't open with the button on the boot only with the key. Also when the boot opens by itself you can hear on the latch like a clicking sound out of it as if its trying to open/close with the boot open. 

 

Would anybody have any ideas of to what is wrong with the boot.

 

Thank you
