I don't know if the bumpers are the problem, but a potential solution might
be to adjust the latch receiver.  Just pop off the two round bits of plastic
on either side of the latch receiver and you can get out the two bolts that
lock down the receiver.  Loosen them, push the receiver down a little,
tighten, repeat as necessary.
This technique also works on an NX who's hatch does not stay disengaged from
the body when the remote release is pulled.
