Default 07 vert decklid problem

I am experiencing a problem where my decklid does not close flush on the passenger side when the top is down.It is about 1/4" from flush. It closes perfect when the top is up.It is a power top. I bought this car new and it has always been this way. It does not appear to touch the top anywhere when down. It might just be a simple adjustment but I have been hesitant to bring it to the dealer afraid that they might make it worse. Has anyone else experienced this problem. Thanks in advance

mine is about the same. the problem that you will create by "adjusting" the cover is that it will be out of adjustment when the top is up then. there are a few good threads on this from about 6-8 months ago...check. i have opted to leave mine alone. i just turned 1,600 miles on mine in 10 months and it gets driven only with the top down. i'm just living with it because it doesn't seem to harm anything but what do i know?

Mine was the exact same way as you described yours. Brought it to the dealer and after they adjusted it, it is perfect. they did have to play with it for a couple of hours though. Make sure you bring it to a dealer that works on vettes alot though because a smaller dealer could make it worse.
