After a year of using my mach e I started noticing some imperfections on the car body. For example the rear bumper ends on the passenger side there is a little gap

Here is the driver side taken at the same angle for comparison. It looks almost perfect

There is also slight surface gap between the body and the hatch door

The corners of the external panels don't match perfectly either

My trunk hatch on my ’21 is also not aligned very well, looks similar to yours. I pointed it out when I was picking it up. Dealer was trying to manually align it on the spot. Everything else looks great. I have no problem with it.

I'm glad I don't have perfectionism in my vehicle expectations.

Normal, it's for wind noise.

Adjustable via the (probably gray now) wedge bumpers.

Slight bit up will push the hatch towards the other side of the car. My two bumpers barley touch my hatch. See the left 'column' is the only one clean, that's the only one touching on my car. I might try to nudge them just a hair and see if it does anything for road noise.

Also why the paint goes off the bumber so fast

Go look at a Tesla (pick one, any one) and you will feel better. :)

The deck lid isn't touching in any pictures. I would bet money someone bumped you in a parking lot.
