Default Door Gap!

Hey all,
I have this gap at the bottom of the driver's door and can't figure out why. I have only had the car for about a month and it has always been this way. I am just now getting around to try and fix it. I can tell you that the striker and door latch has never been adjusted from what I can see. Any ideas? Thanks.

The top of the door seems to be flush but the bottom is out about a quarter inch.

Mine looked that way after I replaced the door seals. They were noticeably thicker than the worn out seals I took out. Over time mine settled back in but still sticks out a bit.

Lower worn odor hinge pin or bushing is my guess.

Loosen the bottom hinge bolts so there are moveable yet snug. Push on the bottom of the door until you get your desired gap. Tighten.
