household
tools required include:
masking tape, No. 2
Phillips
screwdriver,
T-50 bit and ratchet,
side-cutters, and Super
Glue.
Here is the common culprit on the hatch (and door) — a
striker bolt missing its nylon sleeve. The bolt is 1/2-inch
thick with no plastic bushing around it.

To get a T-50 bit into the striker bolt, first remove the two
Phillips-head screws on the rear panel and carefully pull the
panel toward the front of the cabin for access.
Using a good pair of side-cutters, split the new bushing
lengthwise, allowing it to be spread open slightly and slid
into place. If you have access to a small-blade hand-saw
and a vise, a spiral cut would be better.
