Hi all.

I've noticed that the rear hatch seems to have shifted slightly towards the driver's side and it now more-or-less touches the right-hand side of the hatch recess at the top. This means that it rattles considerably on bumpy roads and is also in danger of abrading the paintwork where it rubs.

Is there any lateral adjustment on the hinge mounts on the body or is it a case of loosening the hinge bolts in the glass to shift it over slightly? It might also ease it if the glass was moved 'down' slightly.

I guess I'm only looking at a couple of mm adjustment and it would mean a rattle-free car!

Cheers,

Mark
