Is it normal for the trunk hatch to have this big of a gap?

hummm... the line with the quarter looks about right. the gap between the tail lamp and hatch looks a tad more open than mine.

the rear, hard to tell due to the sun shining into the gap and low angle emphasizes the gap.

yeah it was mainly the tail lamp gap that had caught my eye. Is there a way to adjust the hatch so that it closes off the gap more?

Just fixed it. Adjusting the lock mechanism a little lower seemed to have fixed it.

i hate being bothered by minor yet annoying things.

Yeah sure. I'll have one by the end of the week hopefully.
