replacing hatch mechanism

so the hatch on my zj is dented from the PO and the inlay where the license plate goes does not sit right which has caused rust at the bottom of the hatch and the entire mechanism

Is it possible to replace the mechanism? I'm sick of trying to fix it only to have it knocked out of place as soon as my subs hit or the road vibrations knock it out that same day.

Open liftgate, pull the inner panel. Latch is easily replaced.
