Are you positive that there isn't supposed to be some sort of molding over the rocker panels? If you move the doors closer at the bottom, then the windows will no longer be against the top...

Quite strange, unless someone took the doors off at some time.

There are two hinges on the door. Using a pencil, scribe both hinge plates where they attach to the A pillar. Break the top hinge nuts loose, but do not loosen! You don't want the top hinge to move. Loosen the bottom hinge nuts and slide the hinge inward about 1/4 inch. Snug the bolts and check the door fit.

Remember, I never had to do this. And the doors are very heavy, which is why you don't want to loosen the nuts too much. It might be a two person job?? One to hold the door and the other to work the bolts.
