Hi all,
noticed this the moment i first opened the boot when i got home.. Not sure how i missed it at the dealers as would probably have not taken the car home had i seen it there..
hopefully you can see the HUGE difference in between the panel gaps, and the overhang just above the rear bumper.
Now, the scary parts are....
1) Listers have sold three XC40's , all in white, and mine is the 2nd one they have seen with this issue!
2) Where the hinges attach tailgate to the body - where you would expect to be able to gain some adjustment from - the block is welded to the car - so no adjustment.
anyway, case opened with volvo, but i would check your tailgate !!
Tailgate fitment...

Just checked mine, one of the early cars, collected on March 16th, and it is fine.
There must be adjustment somewhere. And if not, could the issue be with the lower panel rather than the tailgate.
By the way, that Listers sticker in the rear window is such a liberty, it stands out a mile, cheeky sods. it will peel straight out whilst it's new.

Just checked mine after your post and have exactly the same PROBLEM nearside gap is 5mm approx wider than offside gap and tapers. Will let the dealer see it and record it and go from there. All the other gaps OK

I have even gaps either side but they are wider like your LHS rather than narrow and tight.

Took our T5 FE back to the dealer today re boot panel gap. Sales dept to Service dept and fixed straight away , the rear quarter panel adjusts by ( impact technology) refixed into clip, and the boot stops adjust on a small rachet with an Allen key.
Now a perfect fit.
They also fixed the WiFi ( put in the correct pasword) , the travel updates etc worked OK.
Can’t fault the after sales back up service at Stoneacre Volvo Lincoln would recommend them.
