yes it closes great, just cant understand why it has the 1 inch gap.
A friend of mine had his broken out, so we were looking at mine when we noticed I have a 1 inch gap where as his is maybe 1/4 inch.

That is wierd.I bet there is some adjustment in the hinge but since your car has been like that for so long you run the risk of leakage if you do anything to it since the W/S has been adapted to the fit over time.
