Check the top of the door where it meets the rear fender. If the door is
lower, your door may be sagging. Maybe new hindges would fix this. I was
also told that this could be caused by the car actually sagging in the
center due to rotted inner rockers though I find this hard to believe.

I have a problem that I am sure someone has a solution for. My drivers
side door is suffering from an alignment problem. When looking at the
door, all door gaps are even, front to rear, and top to bottom. When
sighting down the length of the car (from the rear), the lower contour
of the door does not match the body contour. The lower portion of the
rear edge of the door protrudes from the body about a 1/4". Someone
suggested that this was due to misalignment of the dog leg section
behind the door that was replaced when the sill was done. Both body and
door shapes seem correct. Any ideas on how to fix this problem? A
really poor effort to illustrate the problem is below. BTW, any
solution must be accomplished without damaging my paint!
