You can fix this problem by installing a stronger spring to pop the hatch, but i have done this and now I have to slam my hatch 37 times to get it closed all the way. I would recommend just dealing with hitting the button twice.

just install a second spring on the hatch release.. installuniversity.com has a writeup on it. I used a second spring that is enough to pop the trunk every time but no soo hard its a pain to close.
