Yes outer A post finisher is the 'black plastic bit'. Cantrail is the 'roof guttering'.

I've assumed you were on about the line up between the two.

You'll get 3 or 5 hundred cars where there is no problems then suddenly one doesn't go together properly. There's no obvious explanation. It just happens. If you think about it, it's bound to happen at times, just like the newspaper you buy that has smudged print.

Why?
Because.

Anyway, cantrail adjustment is what I've already recommended. It's what I would have done to your car.
A post outers are quite a precise fit and misalignment problems are usually the cantrails fault, and even on the odd occasion when the cantrail isn't to blame, it can still be adjusted to create a good fit.
