    Looks like it's siting higher (obviously) on the right side. You need to adjust the bolts that hold the hatch to the frame. That, or something is not put back together properly. My replacement hatch sits a little higher than the original, but not enough to really notice nor cause any wind noise.

    Did you ever find out what the problem is? Mine is also like that on the opposite side. I wonder what the cause is.

    The hinges in the northeast take a beating. I had to replace mine back in 2014 - the left side pin broke due to years of salty brine. As mine deteriorated, it got out of alignment. It’s a bit of work, especially in the cold, but i figured it out by taking the door off. I think you could replace the pin, but I got a clean used pair.
