The driver side, side edge of my liftgate is not flush with the rear face of the D pillar.
I can see that the part on the liftgate side that is supposed to hit the 'stopper' (white plastic wedge on spring, with black rubber button), is not touching the white plastic when closed. I have moved the lock plate on the tailgate as far forward as possible. If I lower the tailgate and close the liftgate, the liftgate is flush on both sides. I believe that indicates that the position of the hinge bolts on the liftgate don't need to be adjusted. The face of the tailgate is flush with the face of the taillight lenses on both sides, when it is closed.
What else can I adjust to pull the driver side of the liftgate to be flush with the D pillar?
