Where either of your cars rear-ended before that you know of? If so it may have been poorly repaired. If not you may need to re-align the hatch. Also sometimes the piston type props tend to rust, and can throw the alignment off (I see it on Dodge Caravans, so it's possible). If you see no problems with the rods, you could try loosening the hatch bolts and re-aligning (easier with 2 people). Also take a look under your rear bumper at your frame rails and make sure the car wasn't in an accident...any kind of frame damage can make gaps larger.
