tailgate touching back valance

[Carrera2RS]

I have just noticed the tailgate is just touching the bakc valence and scuffing the rear quite badly. Definitely was not doing this a few weeks ago. I can't understand why or how to fix. I don't want to take to VW for a big bill, if I don't fix soon I think the damage will require an expensive fix. Any ideas

Raise the bumpsotops on the boot area ?, my old Seat cupra did this

Ps if thats not enough the boot catch may need adjusting too, mark the original position just in case too

It's pretty easy to move the bootlid up on the slotted hinges. I moved mine to align it better with the roof-line, and give a smidge more clearance between bootlid and bumper.
