: Tailgate not centered

I was looking at the tailgate of my E today ( the part that flips down ), it appears to be not centered. The gap on the left side is wider than on the right. I feel that if I knew what I was doing all it needs it to be shoved to the left just a tad to be centered so both gaps on either side of the tailgate would be the same width. Stuff like this REALLY BUGS ME :x . It is going in for it's accessories tomorrow so I guess I should mention it. It definitely doesn't look right the way it is now. Has anyone else noticed this on their E and what have you done about it?

Not exactly the same, but irritating none-the-less (to freaks like me), when the glass part of my tailgate closes, the right-side seems to be more flush with the body than the left side.

If I take my finger and run it from the left-side of the body to the upper tailgate part, I can feel it protrude a little. The right-side upper tailgate part is totally flush with the right-side body.

Not a major deal, but one of those "awww damn" moments for me. :D
