Default Trunk Alignment??????

Hey guys i haven't gotten the chance to post on the new owner thread due to the fact that im trying to fix this problem that i have before i do post pictures..Basically bought my 05 350z and ive seen that the trunk didnt close all the way and that the weatherstrip isnt aligned with the small rear windows and that being the fact, ive been trying to find everywhere for a post where it shows how to align the trunk in the right place... Any help guys?

Check to see if the bottom mount of the hatch struts isn't upside-down. Common mistake, and it causes the problem you've described.

Your bottom brackets are upside down. Flip them over and your good to go.
