Default rear deck lid

I have a 2011 GS I've had a couple of years. Yesterday while I was giving her a bath I noticed the rear deck lid looked like it had shifted a little. It had a little bigger space on the drivers side than on the passenger side. I'm talking about along the rear fender. It looks like I would have noticed this if it had been like that before. It doesn't seem to be loose at all. I wash this car every weekend and I would have noticed it if it were like this before. Anyone had this problem?

Possibly could have shifted a bit.

I would be more concerned your going to wear it out washing so much.

Drive it hard, get it dirty & see if it fixes itself.

Maybe the quarter panel moved. Any other gaps shifted?

Perhaps some gorilla leaned on your car.

The panel gaps do move and shift slightly with temperature changes, a noticeable amount but not huge.
