does the rear hatch contact the rear bumper?

Ive already covered this area with clear bra. I was talking about the top horizontal area of the rear bumper coming into contact with the edge of the hatch lid.

Either way, was curious to know as the gap when closed is pretty large so probably the rear bumper moves up at certain speeds I dont know.. Hence the question.

I applied some small pieces of clear bra to effected areas as to not go through the clear coat over time.

There is also a few areas in the engine bay and fenders that hood rub on which I took care of also. But they are more normal compared to the one I posted .


EDIT. Im a dumbass, should have read your post more carefully. I see what you mean now.

The reason why I jumped to my response above was that the actual rubber spring holder marks the paint there also. Which I applied a clear bra to. However your modification allows / prevents the tailgate from having any place once closed I am thinking.
