replace the lifter rods if their bad it will go back down. If the steel loop makes deep contact with the machanism, the latch catches, that pushes a button inside, the button ques the pull down to turn on.

I agree with the "replacing the struts" suggestions. But yes there is an adjustment to the hatch pull-down unit. But most important, mark its current location with a permanent marker or scratch awl. Then loosen the 3 bolts holding it to the body (1/2" or 13mm wrench) and adjust, then tighten.
