The PO kinda left me a problem. The door frame angles does not fit the top. There are a lot of problems with the door and I am not sure where to start. The Bronco may not have had a window for some time back in the days it was running (maybe 1990 before that 1979). The fit on the door to the top is about one inch and at th bottom of the frame about 1/2 inch. The frame does not show that it is bent out of shape. The passenger door seems to fit the top reasonable well. The door has not been ajusted after it was boted on.
Does anyone have an idea what is wrong?
Pictures are sideways for some reason and I do not know how to upright them sorry.

Need to see a bigger picture. Take a picture of the whole door (rocker panel to roofline). Need to understand the whole fit, not one spot of the fit.

Anything that has had as hard of a life as it looks like that one has I would take a good look at the #2 body mount (all of them actually, but #2 especially). Not just the rubber, the floor channel it supports. They are known for caving in. That messes with the door alignment. Add in it looks like the hinges have been jacked with (someone may have been trying to adjust the door when the problem was the body mount).

There is so much that can be moved around on the door opening. Any of the body mounts will change how the door fits. The opening is very flexible and adjustable. And that is before you start dealing with shimming and bending door hinges, hinge wear, striker adjustment, etc.
