Hatch alignment problem
The hatch on my Z seem to be out of alignment. The gap between the hatch and the roof is wider on the passenger side than driver side. Is it easy to adjust it back to normal?

Any body? Figure I'll need to adjust the hinges, just want to know what adjustment I can make to the hinges before I actually mess with it(i like to be more prepare). Do I adjust the bolts on hinge to the body, or the hinge to the hatch? Thanks.

From what I remember, the hatch hinges did not have an adjustment provision. I ended up "flipping" the hinge by drilling out the pin and using a long nail instead. Also had to grind the base of the hinge where it attaches to the car a bit for it to move properly. Then I just added a washer or two on the bolts that attached to the hatch itself to even out the gap.
