Default Rear hatch problems

I’ve done a few searches already and haven’t found the answer. Last night we had a big monsoon storm come through. Wind, pouring rain and thunderstorms. Went out this morning and the rear hatch was open. Tried closing it several times, the actuator makes all the right noises but it won’t catch. So would that mean it’s working but not catching the receiver on the hatch itself?Some times the actuator won’t stop making noise and I have to give it a good wack. Despite the weather, the interior is not wet (I have a cockpit cover). Oddly enough, the DIC does not say Hatch Ajar. Any ideas? TIA.

Maybe try taking out a tail light or two and blowing some air back in there? Maybe some leftover moisture causing some issues.
