superfish menu styling issue - css

Question

Im trying to style my superfish menu in my Wordpress theme. Im trying to elimate the gap between the dropdown when on hover.
As you can see from the picture there is a small gap.
I have tried to edit the below code which i believe is applicable to the section in question. However when applying a negative margin its making the options overlap as shown.
Im currently editting the below code:-
.sf-menu li li {
background: #193030;
}
however placing a margin-top: -10px; produces this:-
Your help and advice is appreciated.
thanks
EDIT
Please see full CSS of superfish :)

Answer 1

this has now been fixed thanks to the lovely Florian..
I needed to amend
.sf-menu li.sfHover ul {
left: 0;
top: 2.1em; /* match top ul list item height */
z-index: 99;
}
This stated how far the UL was from the top.
I hope this knowledge helps others too.
