On the drivers door, I have a 1/2" gap at the top towards the hood. It is less toward the back. The pass. side is better and more even.They close ok and line up with the belt line. If I can trust my memory, I believe they were that way before we removed them to install weather stripping. I can't imagine they came that way from the factory, but that was over 60 years ago. As I said, they close the way they should, it just looks kinda weird. Steve
