Pics show the issue... it's an oem replacement I just got after being in a wreck, any way to fix it?? Fits perfectly everywhere else just these corners are stuck out a bit... is it fubar or can it be fixed? I'm taking it back in to the bodyshop either way just wondering if I could fix it myself tomorrow when I put my new taillights in, like is there a way to adjust how it sits?

Looks like a sloppy install. There's tabs that hold the cover in place on the sides in line with the upper half. Quick and sloppy work can miss hooking those tabs together.

Looks like I'll just have to pull it off tomorrow and look at it.. I don't wanna void the bodyshops warranty but I don't want to have to wait or leave my car for hours

take the tail lights out and see if it lines up then.

It helped, still off a lil. Gotta go back in to get new stripes in a few days so I'll see if they can fix it then
