We pointed this out in the showroom on collection but sharing a picture taken today. To me, this seems really poor for a £80k car.
Keen to hear if anyone with manual covers has a similar problem or if our's is a one-off?

Thanks in advance!

Did the dealer say they would address/replace it? Our car is power cover door, so can't comment, but it fits as would be expected.

your car has rear fender damage - it was either done before delivery or after delivery - but your cover is misaligned because something has impacted the rear fender…

see the same photo from my Macan below…

I’m afraid it certainly looks like the body panel above the wheel arch trim has been damaged, which I expect has distorted the whole panel and this is why your charging port cover doesn’t fit flush.

it's a "one off" - to quote the OP - because that vehicle/fender has incurred an impact!

so yeah - impact related damage causes body panels to fit poorly…
