Jaguar XF boot lid rubbing on bumper - is this normal?

I took receipt of a new Jaguar XF three months ago. I have covered 7000 miles and have noticed the boot lid is catching on the bumper. It has rubbed through the paint. When stationery the boot lid is approximately 6mm clear of the bumper. Is this a common problem or do I have a car with poorly fitted body panels?

No, not normal and we have one on the fleet: www.honestjohn.co.uk/our-cars/jaguar-xf-r-sport/sh.../ Reads to me as if the trunk latch needs adjusting.
