Aligning rear hatch GLASS, not metal

I havent seen a whole lot of posts on here about rear glass alignment, only the metal portion that sticks out. I have to adjust that as well, but for now I have to get the glass centered. Mine is shifted over about 1/8" to the right, damn near rubbing the body panel, where as I can almost fit my pinkey in between the body panel and glass on the left side. I completely loosened the hinges at the top (inside and outside nuts), and even with a friend of mine pulling as I tightened I cannot make a dent! I noticed someone said the hatch struts will work against you if they are still attached, but is it possible to align the glass at all, or only the metal portion? If its not, then I either have a warped glass, or even better a warped car
