Just noticed this morning that the paint is getting rubbed away at both corners of the boot opening, not the hatch itself but on the bottom edge of the opening. Must be caused by movement whilst driving as the hatch doesn't seem to contact when standing still.

Has anyone else seen this on the coupe ?

Thanks I'll keep an eye on it. Watched carefully when closing the boot and there is no contact as it goes down, clearance is about 2mm so can only really be happening on the move, probably going over all those speed humps and tables - can imagine they twist the car somewhat, especially those where only one side of the car goes over them.
