New-to-me 2025 Limited. This rambox is slightly out of alignment, but just on the rear. Other rambox is fine. Any easy way to adjust it to make it flush?

Same issue on my ‘26. This and the window trim alignment is awful.

Warranty. If the dealer can't get it properly aligned then they should replace. I haven't had an issue with mine but saved this link a while ago. Should give you an idea of what's involved.

Good luck with that. Rambox lid fitment has always been an issue, going back to 4th gens. But the issue is much more pronounced with 5th gens. Back in 2020 I took my truck in to my dealership to have the rambox lids adjusted and they sent me to a body shop. The body shop said there was nothing they could do other than fabricate new lids. Which the dealership told me wouldn’t be covered under warranty. In other words no one wanted to touch them. Stellantis issued a TSB after that which included a tool for making adjustments. So back to the dealership I went. They tried to adjust it but couldn’t get it right.

So I bought one of those tools and took it into my own hands and figured out how to make them fit much better. They still weren’t perfect but they looked a lot better. There are a few older threads where this issue is discussed, and I made a post for how I adjusted mine in one of those threads. When I get back to my computer I’ll try to see if I can locate that thread. It consisted of using the tool to make coarse adjustments and the screws holding the lid on for finer adjustments.

Holy crap, that's hilarious. Basically, "we made a special tool to bend some metal". But, seems like something I could do at home.

Or warranty - but, if I can fix it in 10 minutes, it saves me a whole day of waiting.
