sorry but your SA doesn’t know what they are doing. Mine fixed the problem when I was standing there in 30 seconds. Just needs to “tweak” the attachment.
Hi, you say they tweaked the attachment. Did you happen to see them do that or know how because I think one of mine seems to be misaligned

Well, I'm fairly sure that my door is concave - and that will be tricky to "tweak" onto the convex body panel.

Good to know
Yes one of mine looks similar so if this is tweakable that would be great

No.

There is no amount of enthusiastic screwdrivering (30 seconds or otherwise) that will fix this.

Because it is not an "alignment" problem. It is a "this part is the wrong shape" problem.

In fact, in two axes the fitment is quite good. It is the profile of the metal part of the component that is incorrect.

That image looks horrifying...is that white shape real or an optical illusion? I recognize that shape from X files.....Has your car been sideswiped by an Alien by chance? ;0

Agree part is wrong shape. Looked at others in the opc car park, all the same. So either bad batch of flaps, or someone got it wrong
