Hey all. This has been bugging me for some time now. Before wasting time at the dealer, is there a way I can adjust my trunk? Its sitting a little bit higher on the right side. Left side is fine. Its also not sitting flush with the quarter panel. Is there any play on the hinge if i removed the 2 bolts holding it down? I feel as if i can push it slightly down it would work. I tried adjusting the small screw near the hinge area but that didnt help. I am attaching some pics. Any help would be appreciated!

Ah, the trunk misalignment, well, mine has been to the dealer twice so far, and it needs to go back again. It was rubbing the paint off my bumper in a couple places, so it was covered under warranty, however, dealer said no way to get it perfect, just issue with build quality and body panel manufacturing. Body man said gaps will never be correct, just have to live with it. fenders are off as well, he said more trouble than its worth to try and fix cause the new problems it will introduce. I would say, take it in and get the complaint registered with Ford, see if you get any better answers than I did.
