Trunk rubbing on bumper on SS !?!?

So after owning my car for about a month i've notice that on the top of the bumper there is a rub mark. I assume it is from the wing being force down pushing it onto the bumper, so i wanted to see if anyone else had the same problem. I took it to the dealer but they said it was from closing the trunk too hard. So they tried to buff it out for me but all they did was fog the paint, what a pain in my butt, made it about 4 times worse. I added a couple of rubber spacers and it seemed to help. Anyone have any sugestions or have the same problem occuring?

Mine is rubbing on the lower right, where the trunk lid would touch the bumper...Not a big deal though...

I put a couple of 1/4" rubber spacers on the bumpers that are already on there and it seems to stop the rubbing. The trunk closes a little harder but i don't have to worry bout the paint

Mine is equal on both sides. Hmmm

Is it the truck that is closing to far or is the panels being whacked?
