Tailgate Rubbing on right quarter panel

Hey all,
I just identified an annoying squeek as the right side of the tailgate, right at the hinge, rubbing on the section of the rear passenger side quarter panel (one with FX4 decal) where it curls around to the rear. Does anyone know of a way to easily adjust the tailgate slightly to the drivers side? When the tailgate is up, the gap is noticably smaller on the passenger side, and when down, the edge of the tailgate rubs the edge of the quarter panel, paint to paint.

Any quick suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,
JD

I just always squirt WD 40 on that rubber thing until it wears. After a couple years it won't squeak anymore. I know what you mean, that squeak is really annoying!
