Strip: hatches warping

My hatches are warping after several months of paddling. I have them held on with under deck bungies and have hatch stiffiners. They are no longer flush with the deck. Anybody have any luck returing a hatch back close to its shape? If not, I'll put two nicely done buckle hold downs on that will make them sit flush again. I was wondering if anybody else has had this problem, so I can fix it on the next boat i'm building.
