Message When they test-fitted your wing, I bet it looked like this:

And if you tried to line up the side of the wing with the side of the hatch, it would either crack or buldge in the center, right?

The only thing you can do is to SCREW the wing in place (forget about double sided tape, that won't hold it), a good idea is to put lots of urethane glue in there too. Then, your body shop will have to mold the wing into the proper shape by adding fiberglass to the wing's edge, to make it follow the hatch.

If he does it right, it should look like this:

Also, contrary to popular belief, if the shop uses quality fiberglass filler and does a good job, it won't crack.

Good luck.
