Don’t worry, I’m not precious about it, just interested to know if it was normal. My Elise had a peculiarity with the boot where it fouled on the underside of the butresses. Just par for the course with a Lotus and if you got upset with all these things you’d never sleep!
at one point or other I have had front service hatch, both doors and engine lid catch on clams or roof - still have the scars to prove it.
