Car back from body shop

Hi all, I was rear ended about four weeks ago and just got my car back. I think the body shop did a bad job and have to go back. It looks like if I washed my car now, water could get in my trunk. They also forgot to put my trunk mat (the carpet piece) back in. The spoiler doesn’t seem flush on my trunk either. I always wash my own car so know the lines of my car well. I looked through the pic thread but couldn’t find one.
Can anybody snap a close up pic of their oem spoiler (one of the end corner) to show how flush it is to the trunk? I want to be equipped when I go back to the shop. Mine doesn’t seem to be glued down and for example, looks like my microfiber rags would catch on it.

I'll snap a pic. Replying now so I don't lose the thread later. Do you have the AMG spoiler or the sport spoiler?

Thanks so much for your help. I have a photo of my car, but I can't zoom in enough to see how flush it is.

Here's the shot I had of my car's rear



By the way, now I am fighting with the body shop about my missing OEM trunk mat. They have a photo of my car without it and claim I never had a mat in my car. Ridiculous. I detail and vacuum my car myself, and I know there was a black OEM mat inside. I have no idea what to do. Someone rear ended me, and now I'm dealing with all this BS. I literally cried Friday and almost today. I know some people would write it off and not care, but this kind of stuff really bothers me incessantly and drives me crazy. I just bought my car in Feb, and it's my precious prized possession.

Any recommendations, you guys?

Hope your you have had some good luck. But a timely reminder to everyone to be careful when they drop their car for service or repairs. '

Taking a OEM trunk mat is poor form. How much are they for the record?
