Rear hatch adjustment?

What is required to adjust the rear hatch so it is flush with the rear fascia panel? I have noticed that most hatches stick out.

There is a tech article on this page which helped me out alot go to thirdgen.org/newdesign/tech/hatchalign.shtml I did it by myself but really wish I would have got help because it would have been a lot easier. It took me about 30 minutes to complete. Very happy with results. Great article!!!!!!!!! Good luck

Currently in Thailand (yeah...the country!) and popped on to check whats up.

Follow the article and you will have a beautifully aligned rear hatch!
