W213 wagon tailgate needs adjusting

Hi. My tailgate is slightly dislocated and need to be raised a few millimetres on the left side where the electric motor is located. It looks like the hinges are screwed from inside the car so to be able to adjust the hinge the headliner need to come down.

Can someone confirm that the tailgate hinges are adjustable?

Any tips on how to take the headliner down enough to access the tailgate hinges?
