I have tried the adjusting the 2 bolts that hold the hatch on, but it still doesn't close right. At best, I have to SLAM it hard like 3 times to get it to latch. I bought a new bushing for the striker or whatever its called.

Is there any tips or tricks besides adjusting the 2 bolts?

Did you adjust the striker? It might need to be brought up some.
