Tailgate alignment

Ford Performance has seem to have let QC go to the *******. SVT did a much better job. I have found all sorts of rubber bands and panel clips in odd places on my gen2.

Ford Performance is SVT tho...

It’s essentially the same but quality has clearly dropped with the new name.

So I don't have to drive to the dealer, anyone got a list of the different adjustment points? There are a bunch of screws on the lower hinges, and really it is only the upper alignment that is off. Thought the passenger side rubber striker at first, but it is ok. Did notice the driver's side plastic catch is chewed up big time, thinking that might be it?

I found lots of "missing " clips and fasteners in my interior when i started disassembling it for installs.

thankfully no missing mechanical or body panel fasteners.
