Looks to me like the top hinge on the drivers side door is too far out of correct position and needs to be further in towards inside of car. Problem there is that Jensen welded the door post hinge plates so you can't alter them. The hinge plates inside the doors give a bit of adjustment, but at a cost, because movement of the hinges there will either bring the door closer or further from the "B" post . It looks like the window chrome frame has been altered so that it is further into the car at the rear top, however two wrongs don't make a right. The 541 R hinges were changed shortly into production, which make life easier as both sides of the hinges are in a flat plane.
