Yes thats the way to go. I actually use rubber and line them up with the black plastic stoppers that are fixed to the hatch. Bought a whole role of this "weatherstripping" for $5 or so at Advanced Auto Parts. It sticks well and creates a tight fit. I have had it on since I bought the car in May. Only changed it once for a tighter fit as the rubber over a long period of time indents more permanently. But no problem, I still have a whole roll which I store down under the trunk mat. Best of luck.
