Rear Hatch Opens On Its Own

My rear hatch keeps opening on its own. It is closed when I go inside but it is often open the next morning. Maybe the key fob is too sensative.

Yes, it is too sensitive... It happened to me several times when the car was new. Now I pay attention to it eg checking from the app if it is closed and take the key out of my pocket if I am doing sth in the house...

I keep mine on a lanyard. Makes it harder to lose and won't hit buttons in your pocket.

Is the key fob stored for the night at least 10 feet away from where the car is parked? If the key is hanging on a hook inside the kitchen door, and the GLB is parked in the attached garage 3 feet away from the door, then the house cat running under the back of the car could open the hatch.
