Liftgate adjustment advice needed

The liftgate on my 2001 sr5 rear liftgate shuts "crooked". The gap on the left side between the gate and the bodies side and roof is significantly smaller than the right side . The right side i can practically get my index finger between the gate and the body where the left side the gap is less than half of the right. The rear gate doesnt feel loose, doesnt leak, the seal doesnt look smashed anywhere, and the pads near the bottom of the gate on either side also appear good. Is there a way to bring the right side in closer to the body?

Sorry I can't help, but I am looking to swap out the lift gate on mine because I broke the glass and found a replacement for cheap. Wondering how difficult this would be?

Not sure mine was like this when i bought it but the crookedness bothers me.
 
Your only choice is to loosen the hinge bolts to adjust it left/rigth/up/down. careful, its heavy.... :cowboy:
