Default rear hatch gap adjustment !! how?

iv'e tried a few searches and haven't found how to adjust the closed rear hatch door gap with the rear bumper.my hatch operates perfectly but looks as though is sitting slightly up from the rear bumper,the gap is a couple of mm too much.its barely noticeable but would like to set it exactly. i think it was ok before its respray last year. its 81 euro if that makes any difference.

The rubber bumpers in the corners can be screwed in and out. That's the common adjustment point. If that doesn't help, then you need to go further into this, as Randy indicated.

Mine was like that until I got a new plastic lower hatch receiver liner.

They screw DOWN into the plastic pieces at the corners of the carpet..at the ends of the tool panel.

Round rubber things, nickle sized.

My car is missing those, and the hatch ratttles like it's a little loose. Do you know where I can get replacements?
