General Alignment

[Kyleg97]

Hi guys and gals,
I was just wondering if any of use had a problem, where your boot/bonnet did not align up properly. If so what did use do to correct the issue.

Adjust the mounting points, or in the case of the tailgate, it might need twisting depending upon how out it is

Okay thanks I take it that this is a common fault.

Mis aligning panes usually sorted by hammer, if it's very bad get a sledge hammer

Yep looks to need a twist if realigning / adjusting the hinges doesn't work

Mine is slightly misaligned in the same way as yours but not as bad.

Its just as likely to be poor build quality as a bump as mines never had an accident

That you're aware off, you'd be surprised how many 'new' cars have had damage in transit repaired before purchase

Possibly, although im still going with poor build quality to match the rest of the car ?

Mines similar on the bonnet, one side is flush, the other a massive gap.
