Default Door won’t shut right
Does anyone know why this door won’t shut all the way it still latches but it’s got a gap and it’s hard to open

The frame is bending because of the jackstands you got under there.

Yup. My XJ hatch either won't open or won't latch if you're parked with the suspension flexed a lot, like one rear wheel up on a curb.
