89 trans am rear bumper alignment

Good evening, trying to figure out how to adjust the alignment of the rear bumper - where the gfx meet up from the bumper to the quarter (down and left off the marker" it is about 1/4" off. The body guy said it's normal that the panels were never perfectly straight from the factory but not sure if that's correct. It's not a show car by any means but it's spent alot of timing getting everything looking good and I want it to look as good as possible.

Re: 89 trans am rear bumper alignment

that bumper looks pretty straight????


The bumper is held in with 3 nuts / bolts per side that go into the body... you might be able to loosen them and play / wiggle it just a tad to get it to adjust more and tighten the bolts down.
