Does anyone know how to draw the hatch closer to the trunK?

I picked up a hatch back with 450k on the clock and the hatch rattle when you hit bumps. I'm not familiar with them and don't have the Chiltons book on it yet. Any help would be appreciated.

No it's a 87 lx 5.0. One owner. I posted in the pics buffet if you want to see more. This section just has way mor traffic and the hatch is the same.

Loosen the latch and lower it little by little til it's where you want it. The bushing on the striker are a common problem because it's plastic. On my old 86, I replaced it with a brass bushing. You can also adjust the bumpstops by turning them.

Are you missing the pastic around the striker?
