Like for many of you I guess, the lights on my tailgate are not well aligned with those on the sides: they sit just a bit lower with respect to the ideal line they should form (see arrows). Not dramatic but clearly noticeable and annoying…
Have you tried to have it fixed or asked your dealer for a solution?

I asked about it from my dealer when I got the car and the result was that it's fixable by adjusting the tailgate. Mine is also wrongly adjusted on the left side. Will get that corrected when I take the car for yearly maintenance in 6 months or so.

Mine are also lower on left side. Tried to rotate that screw but was not able. There is some kind of locking mechanism inside :!:

Mine too has this issue at the left light. I asked the dealer and suggested me not to touch anything cause most times things get worst.

Corrected at dealer. But it is very easy.
