Anyone seen this before?
An eyesore that bothers me every time I look at my truck. The curve of the door doesn't match the curve of the cab. Also, I think I'm getting some noise in the cab as a result. Anyone seen this before or know if I could fix it? Is it just a door mounting adjustment? The bottom of the door seems to fit correctly, it's just that last 8 inches at the top...

(Below) From above. Notice the weather stripping doesn't make contact with the cab.

Guess they don't allow direct links......
If the door is lined up correctly at the bottom...... just open the door, sit on the seat, brace your knees against the door, just below the window opening, and pull in on the top of the window frame. Don't pull to hard, just enough to move it a bit. Then see how it lines up..... do it some more if it still needs it.

Yep seen it before, I've been meaning to fix mine for some time now and the fix HeyYou described is the way to fix it. 
You can also take a dollar bill to test the fix. If you can slide the bill easily, then you need to pull that section in more.

No, clearly the whole side of the truck needs to be pulled out to match the door! KIDDING, DON'T DO THAT!!
They are right, simple fix. I actually added a couple extra tak welds at the base of my window frame to strengthen it up.
