I tried to Dremel it. Too many dimensions are out of whack. It won't be modifiable.

Gaawd I love this place....thanks for taking the time to show us this Bill.

im in the midst of swapping lock cylinders and replacing the plastic tounge. My rear hatch sits high with the rear quarters at the corners also and it has always bugged me. I hope this will help.

Tony, I saw your reinforcement work in the thread you started. LOOKS GOOD! The few things I tried were not nearly as strong as your work.
