You can tighten it up (fine adjustment) by turning the rear latch. For a coarser adjustment, you can move the 2 front latching surfaces. The procedure is in the shop manual.

I looked up your problem in my '99 shop manual which describes the following adjustments:
Adjust rear striker to ensure locator pins are fully seated.
Coarse ajustment - loosen rear striker bolts and move striker forward.
Fine Adjustment - loosen set screw and turn hook 1 turn at a time.
Front Striker
Coarse adjustment - loosen striker mounting bolts and reposition up or down
Fine adjustment - loosen striker outboard bolt, slightly loosen inboard bolt and pivot striker bracket up or down on inboard bolt.

Good luck!
