Poor Rear Fender and Quarter Panel Alignment.

[Starship Enterprise]

Mine was lower on the drivers side about 1/2”. I twisted the rubber stop out to get it even on both sides.

My trunk is aligned at the rear and at the rear window. It's sunk in the middle of the gap, like it is bowed. Any adjustment will misalign it elsewhere.

Does anyone know if there is a TSB on the rear fender and front quarter panel fitment? See pics.
It’s the same on both sides.

I’ve heard there is TSB 23-2302 but it’s for the rear fender and rear quarter alignment.

I know this post is old but my dark horse has a panel misaligned in the same exact spot. Anyone get it fixed? Is it even worth to try fixing it or they just wind up botching it even more

Mine is the same. No idea how to fix that.

Mckillin, the best I could get was by pushing and pulling the panels, by hand, to get the best possible alignment.
I did not investigate the TSB.
Panel alignment is not good but it’s better.

@mckillin ...... wise words that a situation can be made worse. Respectfully, proceed with caution. gentle manipulation to see what happens is fine. Of course, moving one area to address a gap changes the fitment elsewhere. I had a lot of "fun" with the trunk of my 2024 GT. My 2026 GT seems better. As for your situation, respectfully, I would see if I could use a thin plastic shim behind the upper area of the lower piece at the edge of the trim piece closest to the wheel. If there is a screw in that area I would loosen it first. If it is attached with a clip or plastic pop fitting proceed gently. You can probably "split the gap difference" and arrive at a virtually unnoticeable appearance. Remember.....gently!
