Ok...you ready for this? The interior plastic panel that covers the hatch motor and tail light access needs to come off, (two Philips screws on top, four plastic flatheads on either side). Look down into the motor where the actual hatch would if you were to close the trunk. There is a black release that when pushed down (use a screwdriver to push it down), the motor will move down. When you release it, the motor will come back up. Leave the panel off, shut the trunk so the hatch is latched, climb in the car and push that black release down until shut..if you let it close too far down it will pop up again so play with it a little. I know it sounds ghetto and it is but it's better then not being able to get your hatch closed at all..trust me. Good Luck!
