Tailgate gap... what causes it and can it be fixed?

Hey, I noticed a gap in my tailgate and was wondering what might cause it and if it’s fixable. Any ideas?

Probably had an accident if you didn’t buy it new. The fixing seems meh, as you can see.

Like the other comment, it might have been in a prior accident. Even if you bought it new, dealers sometimes get shipping damage and have to fix it before sales can sell the car. If you go to a decent auto body shop, they can adjust the gate to close up gaps. Most likely, someone didn’t line up the top hinges and adjust the cushions. Best of luck!

There might be a TSB for this.

Does it have stoppers on the body or the trunk lid to adjust?
