Default 1982 Door panel alignment

Hi all, I've looked at pictures of 82 doors on the web and I don't know of another 82 near by to use as a reference but when looking into the car window from the outside, it appears that the door panel is sitting much higher than the outside of the door. About a 1/4 inch. Is this normal or is the door panel supposed to be even with the outside of the door?
Thanks,

Thanks,
Photo's would be helpful.

It should be almost level with the outside trim.
