Lights indicate hatchback is ajar, but it is closed

I think the gasket may have stuck to the hatchback door because of hotter weather. And I think this sticking may have pulled the gasket out of place.

Perhaps coating the gasket with some type of oil might prevent such sticking. Anybody have any comments?

Thanks,

They are a dry gasket. If it is sticking it could be due to the gasket or the hatch getting something on it. Try just cleaning both with soap and water. If it still seems tacky after that, you could hit it with something like armorall.
