Rear hatch alignment issues

Hey guys, I have an 83 Z and I have tried and tried to realign my tail/hatch back on the car. I have at least 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch of the hatch sticking past the rear quater where the air spoiler wraps around and down. I recently went to a cruise night and met another third gen owenr. His wasn't as bad, but we both have the same question. How the heck do you adjust this. I have pulled the hydro pistons and loosened all four bolts on my hatch trying to rack it around to get proper alignment. Nothing has helped. I went as far as pulling the rear plastic from under the tail to see how it's held on there. I'm afraid to get too pushy with it cause I don't want to break my window. Has anyone tried this? Are there any pictures on a how to????? Thanks Matt
