the door a little Tongue Put a block of wood, rubber or even a rolled
up towel under the side that touches first, and then push firmly
on the other edge. Start gently, checking the sealing after each
push, and slowly push harder until you obtain the desired result.

The hatch is a large and not very stiff door. It probably closed
once with something under one edge to give it a bit of a twist.
You just need to twist it back.

Thanks Jondee! While I was figuring about how to tackle the problem I did indeed find the edge to which the hatchseal sticks was bend a little bit low. Still in perfect condition though but it could be better. Now it's almost entirely closed. May need a little more adjusting. The fume smell is a lot better Hurray!
