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.

it should line right up. i never had problems when i had to swap one out.

man im having hell with it.

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

well what did was tightend the bolts on top, and then closed it. and then tightened the bolts right above the ehadliner, and its still off but closer than it was. PAIN N THE BUT

Yeah it really is lol I got it close and called the quits. I'm hopefully putting mine in the body shop after taxes anyways

well im going to put mine in tomrorow, bt thats what im worried about, i dont know if they will fix it or try to align it for me.

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.
