The sensor is in the latch. You can fool the car into thinking that the rear hatch is closed by pressing the blade of a screw driver sideways into the latching mechanism on the bottom of the hatch door. Just remember to open the latch before you try to close the hatch.

Driving with the hatch open may cause cause exhaust fumes to enter the cabin (assuming that the ICE is running). A roof rack might be a safer solution.
