So my tailgate started making a bad noise starting at about ½ way opening and closing. It's the rubber gasket (at front edge of spoiler) rubbing on the inside painted part at the top of the opening. Anyone else have this issue? There doesn't seem to be any visible change in the fit of the tailgate, not sure if the clearance changed, or the rubber needs some silicone spray so it will slide as it rubs there. The noise was very slight initially, but has been gradually getting worse the last week.

Since there were no responses, and I don't feel like taking it in to the dealer to possibly become scratched, does anyone have hinge adjustment instructions for the rear tailgate? It appears mine needs to be adjusted up or out at the hinges.
