You are on track. When I got my auto I wanted to address this problem right away because I did not have it on my first XFIRE.
From what I read on this forum, I was inspired to go to HD or Lowe's and get an array of stick on velcro and rubber furniture strips. The velcro ended up doing it for me. (the rubber strips were a little too thick) My car is black as is the velcro so it looks neat. It is placed right under the stop which prevents it from denting the body work around the hatch opening. I think it usually works best to apply one on the driver's side.
Good luck; If this doesn't work for you , be creative. Most solutions are simple and they don't break something else while you are doing your thing.
