I think this is normal. Most latches have a little play in them. What does the gap look like between your hatch and the rear bumper?

Take it to your dealer and ask them to adjust it - or download the service manual (the link is sticky on the forums) and give it a try yourself. That will give you an idea what it should be - a baseline. Some play is normal, though, as others have indicated.

thanks for the responses fellow Z owners. I actually stopped by a dealer and both Z's on their lot did the same thing, so i wont worry about it.
