Take off the trim on the inside. Should be able to figure it out from there. You might try getting some type of spray lube and see if that helps. I'm not sure if you can adjust it like the hood latch, but I would assume it might be possible.

Here are the parts you will need if you have to replace it. (http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto/jsp/mws/prddisplay.jsp?inputstate=5&catcgry1=CIVIC&catcgry2=2003&catcgry3=3DR+SI&catcgry4=KA5MT&catcgry5=TAILGATE)

Yeah, when you sit inside your hatch, you can take off panels to replace taillights and such. If you still cant get to it, pop off the cover. You can look at the assembly and move it by hand, or use a screwdriver.
