Exclamation hatch on a 00 ss. closed but "open"

my hatch is close but still open? im riding around 1 day and hear wat seems to b my hatch floppin up and down. sure enough it was. i finally go look at it and its locked shut but i still have room to push it down and let it come back up. its really weird but if you cant see it in my signature theres not supposed to be that much space between the bottom of the hatch and where it shuts. any ideas on how to fix this?


do yall see wat im talking about? any ideas? id appreciate it

Adjust the bumpstops on the hatch? Someone mentioned them in another thread I just saw.

Yea you can move the latch down, if not elongate the hole. It should take that much to lower it though.
