Is the hatch closing all the way until you hear the second click?
The hatches on Blazers, at least on my 72, latch closed similar to how car doors and modern car hoods close; close it softly and it will catch but it is not fully closed. Close it with more force and it will close properly.
Try this; Close the hatch as you normally would until it catches and won't open without turning the handle. Then, using the palm of your hand, push with more force on lower corners of the hatch until you hear a second click.
If you don't hear a click then the catch mounted on the removable top may need to be adjusted so the hatch closes properly so it does not rattle.
The latch (removable top side) on mine is packed out (toward the handle) with washers. I can only assume this was done to adjust the latch to get it to close properly.
