What I believe is happening is that with the hatch released from the button and closing the door, the air pressure from closing the door pushes the hatch up a little and the weight of the hatch coming back down closes it. Try it without closing the drivers door and walking to the back and see if it is open.

I bet you're right...I'm just glad I'm not going crazy (unlike X5Ghost over there who can't get anyone to reply to his posts!)

I think you might be referring to when my hatch kept popping open on it's own ?
