Rear latch question

Rear latch question
I got an 06 Xb and my rear latch isn't working right. When I close the rear door, it locks but the door light doesn't go out. I played around with the latch and it seems that the door is supposed to close a little further for the light to go out.
Is the latch supposed to pull the door in the rest of the way? Cause no matter how hard I slam the door it doesnt close all the way.
Thanks

Happens alot if you close the mat , or anything else in the hatch door while closing it.

Chances are the latch is not broken , just out of adjustment. On the lower part of the frame remove the plastic trim , find the proper Torx bit , push the upside down "U" latch in a little and tighten it down , close hatch and see if it did it. Keep trying until the hatch closes and the light goes out.

2008 Xb rear door doesn't close
Ok, my problem and then my solution
My 2008 Xb rear door would not close all the way. When I closed it it just partially shut and would not lock either. There was a little play back and forth while it was shut too. On the dash the red door open light lit continually .....
I read a both the sensor bad, door misaligned, latch actuator gone bad the door pads gone bad....
No one that I found stated the obvious from what I read... Remember the door seal the goes all around the whole rear hatch? The bottom portion came loose and every time I closed the door it was wedged between the door and the part the the latch catches when you close the door.
Every time I opened it the slight pull would partially place the bottom portion of the seal to look as if it was normal.....
Lesson learned? Check the most obvious first
Pay attention to the indicator lights
