Is the hatch straight across the bottom?  Seems as though either
hatch or body must be still bent, given that the gasket is tight at
the top, loose at the bottom, latch is in all the way and still no
joy.  Those bumpers certainly touched at one time.  And adjusting the
hinges will only give you less clearance at the top where you already
don't need any.

Bit late to argue with the body shop.  Maybe time to stick some thin
foam with skived ends on the lower parts of the hatch?
