Default Rear Hatch Gapping Question

Just got my car back from the shop after it was hit in the side. Here's the thread: https://my350z.com/forum/2003-2009-nissan-350z/343983-another-my-z-got-hit-thread.html

Anyway... Was just looking over the gapping between the hatch and roof and found that the side that was hit has a smaller gap than same place on opposite side.

Just wondering if the gap varies for all Zs or possible the frame was tweeked or something. The hatch wasnt replaced so its not the body shop messing up mounting it.

And da pics:
As you can see, the keychain will fit into one side but not the other.

Right side (side that was hit)



Left side

Z's don't have frames.

Aside from that cars come from the factory with varying gaps. Granted they're usually not horrible, but they're not perfect either.

I had the window trim adjusted on mine after I bought it. Take a very good look and see if its really just the window trim pieces. The body shop I took it to ordered new plastic snaps, replaced them and adjusted the window trims in less than an hour.
