On really bad roads the hatch rattles like no other. I make sure to allways get the hatch closed but I notice there is a little bit of a gap so I know that it could be tightened some more. So what are so are some of my options? Thanks!

loosen the striker and move it forward to close the gap.

Forgive me for my stupidity but where is the striker at? And how hard is it too do this?

The striker is that ring at the bottom of the opened hatch that the rear door latches onto.

To adjust it, you'll need to pop a plastic covering off and a philips screw driver to adjust two screws.
