They'll probably give you the same story I've had today "its within tolerance" it's great when they even add up tolerances on both sides of the problem so they can add them up to effectively come up with an overall tolerance of double.

There are certain measurements (with specific tolerances) to follow in adjusting the liftgate.

Has yours got the same problem as mine? Can other owners check their alignments on MY11 and let me know if yours is straight? |

Mine's not great to be honest. The worst is trying to close the screen if I only open half the boot (which I like doing), but inevitably I'll get back in to find a "rear door not closed" warning on the dash.

my upper tailgate is a pain too. The mis-alignment is not visibly noticeable but frequently the car thinks the upper tailgate is still open when it isn't. Also, the paintwork is slightly worn as a result. ============

Here's another one for you all to check out except Autobiography models, looking at the back of your car see if your left hand side exhaust tail pipe is slightly lower that the right one, just about everyone i look at is the same from early models right upto 11 plate |

Yep, same here noticed it at the weekend. Must get down to dealer to discuss, but looking at comments so far I guess I can sense a fobbing off coming |

The opening rear tailgate window is a pain.Has to be slammed so hard it feels as if it will break. No wonder they have got rid of it now. SVR 2018 in Santorini Black. |

Sort of gives some comfort that it isn't just mine. Are you guys all familiar with the answer Lotus owners get from dealers when something isn't quite right ......... TADTS!
