Hello guys,
After a small accident without any serious damage except some rear bumper paint I found that my tailgate is out of alignment. The impact was from rear right and the tailgate has moved around 5mm to the left. Still locks right because the lock counterpart (not sure about the name) is also displaced. Can this be fixed through the hinges or they do not allow alignment of the tailgate?

There is probably only a small amount of adjustment for the top hinges which have a centring pin (and depends on your model - we will need the VIN), but may not be enough if the bottom catch has also been knocked out of alignment. There are also bolts that can be adjusted - but each of these models is different (Saloon, Estate, year and mobile or fixed glass, etc.)
You may have more damage than you can see - so I would recommend you get it properly aligned by a bodyshop fitter.
