Rear Hatch
Is there a way to adjust the rear hatch? There is a slight difference on how far it shuts from the left side to the right side.
Cant figure out if there is a way...thx

Yes.
Pull of the rear covers and you'll see the adjustment bolt (10mm) that allows you to adjust the latches.

The covers on the back where your top goes at the rear of the trunk.

Go open your hatch.
Pull the rear covers off of the back wall and you'll see the locking mechanism..
Use a 10mm to loosen the adjuster bolts and adjust as needed.

Go open your trunk and look straight down. There are covers against the rear were the weatherstriping is lcoated.
Remove them and you'll be abe to adjust the cargo hatch.
