Adjust it. The dealer should catch that stuff before delivery, but it's not unusual.
but the point is that it shoulnt be since they touted the use of new lasers for the 2012s to keep tolerances super duper tight.

How is it in the manual?
I have:
1. misaligned tailgate
2. misaligned front passenger door
I thought my tail gate was misaligned as well. My spoiler was actually touching on the left (driver side) of the car when closed. But on closer inspection the gate itself is actually positioned quite well, it is the rear glass that is misaligned. The dealership shifted my spoiler over to the right some so that it was no longer touching when closed. The rear glass looks like it should be a few mm wider, that way there is less room for alignment issues. Mine is shifted slightly to the left. So crack running down the right side is wider than the crack on the left side. There shouldn't be that much space between the rear glass and side of vehicle!
Mike127,...After I bought it and brought it to the service dept, they told me that it was not a major saftey hazard and it was only slightly cosmetic and therefore wouldn't be fixed..!?!?!
I have a 2nd problem you guys may want to look at, my passengerside front door is also misaligned...
Thanks again for your recommendation, MikeFreas. I really appreciate it....If they give you the stiff arm again contact Cory via a PM.
Thanks for the heads up about your PM; I’ll respond as soon as possible.Thanks MikeFreas for the suggestion and thanks Cory for taking the time to help me with this
@Cory: PM sent
I’m sorry I missed your post before, EKY. Did you end up going to the dealer for this? I can send the details to the Customer Service Manager in your area. I still have your VIN from previous messages, so drop me a line via PM with your contact info, dealer name/state, and mileage.Mike127 - Did you ever get this repaired? My MY12 Ex with less than 200 miles on the odo. has the same issue. The pass. side is misaligned. I'm not sure if I want the dealership touching bolts which were secured at the factory. Let me know how it turned out.
I suggest showing the dealer where the alignment is off. Keep us in the loop with what you decide.I was wondering, did somebody try fixing the tailgate alignment. I thought i checked it well before delivery but just noticed today that on the passenger side it is not flush. I am not sure if i should try to fix or just foget about it...
