i had the same problem with a 97 z24...i noticed that the hook connected to the body of the car (not the actual latch on the trunklid) was attached to some thin sheetmetal that bent downward. all i did was pry it up higher and it latched perfectly again.

If the door feels like it is "hitting" on something, it is probably either worn hinge pings or the latch located on the body of the car (and not the door itself) is out of adjustment. If it closes but doesn't latch, it is either a faulty handle, latch, or latch rod/cable. All of these parts should be available at your local auto parts store.
