I'm thinking the water may be entering through this little ledge area above the hinge. After cleaning up the mechanism and applying White Lithium grease I ran a bead of caulk on the little ledge, there was a very slight gap. We'll keep a close eye on it and see if the caulking eliminates my water intrusion.

Dan, our latches looked just like that. Cleaned them up, applied some silicone and reinstalled. I have some sealant at the top of the hinges, but water is still seeping in as I found out yesterday with our monsoon we had!
