I'm about to get my car paitned, so i swapped my hatch out from my parts car, because the one on my car was rustiing, well Ive spent 3 hours trying to get it to even close let alone align right. i thought maybe the hinges were bent so i took it off my parts car and that ddnt help, i loosened the hinges from inside the car so i could maybe wiggle it alittle, that didnt help, i have about an inch on the passenger side and i have 1/2 inch on the driver side. Any help would be appreciated.

Mines the same way, but mine had been in an accident... I got it about a quarter of an inch from proper by gently but firmly twisting it lol

I don't see why they wouldn't they probably have some wack technique that takes five minutes while we'll be out there for a decade tweaking it lol.
