Hatch rattles! What to do?

OK, so I've just noticed this and it's annoying the bloody hell out of me!!

My rear hatch seems to rattle...especially when I'm driving on a bumpy road, it seems to have a lot of "play". I've tried closing and reclosing it but when I push down on the spoiler it kind of jiggles. It's annoying the hell out of me!

Does anyone have any suggestions of where I should start in fixing this? I.e. is there a screw to tighten or something to replace or what?

BTW, I have a manual pulldown, not the electric one.

With the hatch open and looking at the bottom you should see two rubber bumpers at the corners. Try turning them out a little more and see if the hatch fits a little tighter.
