Abstract
A motor vehicle has an opening which can be closed by a swivellable component, particularly a tail gate, the component being mounted by at least one hinge on a vehicle body part and the hinge having a first hinge half fastened to the vehicle body part and a second hinge half fastened to the swivellable component. An adjusting device for aligning the swivellable component with respect to the adjoining vehicle body contour is provided. So that the aligning of the swivellable component can be carried out from the direction of the exterior side of the vehicle when the component is closed, the adjusting device is arranged on the exterior side on the end area of the second hinge half facing the swivellable component.
