Trunk not closing tightly?

I've noticed that when the trunk is closed, I can push down on the crest area and get the trunk to move - as if there is now play in the latch.

Is there an adjustment I can make to the latch to get it to close tighter?

Yes, there are 2 rubber bushings underneath the front of your hood. They are threaded. Unscrew them a couple turns and the hood will fit tight again.

You can't tighten them too much or it will not release from the inside. There is supposed ot be some push down play.
