It keeps bothering me that when my trunk/boot is closed, the gap gets much wider between the bumper from left to right. It appears almost twice the gap on the right side. Only really bothers my once the wife commented on it!

Any ideas on if there is a fix/adjustment to straighten it out. Perhaps Rick has a thought on it?

Thanks

Could be either I guess. Tailgates have a habit of twisting over time because people always pull down on one particular side but it could be the bumper's come unstuck in the middle.

Ebruce firstly can you post any pictures firstly of the gaps and also the alignment along each side of the tailgate could i also see a picture of the tailgate open showing the underside specifically the two black mountings one in each corner
