Door gap

Looking at a 69 Bronco it has steel doors and a soft top. Both doors close but when closed there is about a 1/2 to 5/8 gap between the back edge of the door and the body. Do all years have the same doors? It is obvious that the doors were removed at 1 time and reinstalled. Could it be possible that they need to be shimmed. The gap is the same the whole way down the door edge. The body line at the fender is about 1/8 In. And the front fender are fiberglass. Seems like the rear edge is a little big not sure if its the doors / shims or ? any other ideas . Thanks

You could shim them to make it match

But as long as the gap is consistent from top to botttom

If the gap gets larger at the bottom rear it means the body is sagging
