Ok - pulled the whole thing off. Actually had to use a hammer (the other end) to get it started - then off. Found that there is a copper and plastic moving part at the other side of the push button (on the outside) that was loose. looks like it wears over time - now screw to tighten it soooo I took part of a cardboard box tripled it and wedged it in between the part that pushes the plastic and releases the hatch. It is snug now and I have to slam the hatch now to close it= but it is snug. I will give you all an update tomorrow to see if it stops all the racket. I really mean racket. Speakers are still there - lots of wiring back there as well.
