Try pushing on the hatch while pulling on the handle. Do this a couple of times with different amounts of force.

My 99 has the same issue. Some days I can't get it open without really pulling hard on the latch, and others it opens like it should..

I read somewhere else that you could adjust the rods or something inside the door. This might solve the problem.

I look and see if I can find out something.
