you need that gap , if not you will be rubing metal to metal when the lift gate is opening, it also functions as a water drainig. when its raining

That is one reason I dislike CF peices. Most aren't exact fits and have gaps. But they look nice

The gap he is talking about is normal, go out and look at your own.
