Same thing happened on mine.  I tried just about everything to get the
table to budge, but no go.  Finally, I just gave it a good yank - forcing
my fat fingers under the bottom corners and giving it the old heave ho -
and it broke free.  Not wanting to go thru this again, I removed the
latching mechanism and replaced it with Velcro - a strip glued to each
bottom corner of the table and the receiver strip glued opposite, in the
table recess.  Not real strong, I admit - I'm going to have to replace it
this spring - but it works keeping the table down and from flopping around
when driving.  It was suggested on this list not too long ago that the
thing to do is replace the latch with a metal plate attached to the table,
and a rare earth magnet opposite, in the table recess.  I may go that
route...

Hope this helps...

The table on my 88 wolfburg is in it's fold down position and I can't seam
to get it to release. On the bottom of it , say's to push table . I assume
