Hatch off centered, anyway to fix?

I just noticed tonight that my back hatch is off centered. it is almost touching on the pass. side and the drivers side has a nice gap. just wondering if there is anyway to fix it. thanks

I have done it on my iroc. I needed to take the rear interior trim piece out to get to the bolts. There was room for adjustment but I couldn't do it without 2 people helping me on the outside. While I was loosening the bolts from the inside of the car they would adjust it, I would tighten the bolts up and they would close it and check for alignment done about 3x times until it was perfect.

this will help you get the deck lid off the glass..

I did mine friday, wasnt too difficult, just make sure you get someone to help you, that glass is darn heavy w.o the struts supporting it.

To me it seems easier to just adjust the whole hatch then just the lid esp if it was way off.
