How do I fix a slightly bent trunk?
So this hasn't bothered me much, but now that I really thought about it and I know that this problem exists, I want it to be fixed lol.
Look at the amount of space there is on the left side and the right side of the trunk. The right side looks worse than it actually is because I took that picture up too close I guess. It is barely noticeable but I know it's there.
I am guessing the previous owner put something on the right side of the trunk and slammed the top down and it hit whatever was in the trunk and got slightly bent.
Is there a fix to this? And I feel like there is some wind noise coming inside the car. Just a little... Do you guys have this too? If not, I guess it is coming from this slightly bent area.
As always, thanks for helping guys!

Hookah, check the gap between the hatch and the surrounding panels. If it’s out-of-whack up top as well, then most likely all that is needed is a hinge adjustment. Although that’s probably a fiddly job, as I used to hear my dad swear and curse when he had a stubborn one to do.
