Verify that the liftgate is correctly centered in it's opening.
Confirm the liftgate adjustment. Hold a straight edge flush against the glass as indicated, and record the gap/space between the straight edge and the liftgate outer vertical panel.
NOTE: The flush specification for the liftgate glass to the outer panel is 0mm - 2mm over flush.
If the liftgate needs to be adjusted, loosen the two hinge bolts and move the liftgate in small increments until desired measurement is achieved.
Tighten the liftgate hinge bolts 12 N.m (9 ft. lbs.).
Verify correct liftgate closing efforts and operation.
