Late game SNGs are all about timing. There's also a lot of luck involved, for instance if the BB and SB keep getting dealt hands when you're trying to steal. Also, the type of players to your left are going to have a huge impact on your late-game style. If you get stuck with a couple calling stations behind you, then you have to just wait for hands.

Unlike early in a SNG, where you are trying to avoid coinflips, the addition of ante and the rising blinds means that you shouldn't be afraid to get your money in on a 50/50, especially if you're short. Yes, occasionally you'll run into a big hand, but you'll also have some fold equity if you're the one doing the raising.

Of course, this means that some players will start trapping at this stage, so be wary of limpers and min-betters. Hopefully, by the time you reach the final table, you have a good idea how 70%+ of the table plays. If you know who you can steal from, it makes it that much easier.

And don't give up. I was in last place when I hit the final table in a 45-man game today. I ended up winning the thing, mostly thanks to some well-timed aggression after we hit the money.
