Default Door Gap

I'm a bit hesitant to ask this, but my passenger door has a gap at the bottom that seems fairly significant. I can easily get three fingers under it from about the door handle to the middle of the door. I'm guessin' this is not "normal." My driver's door does not have the same gap.

It's a '97 Torch Red and there is little if any wind noise from that door.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Doesn't sound normal but may not be a big deal. Does the door drop when you open it? Put a piece of painters tape across the gap by the handle parallel to the ground, slit the tape and open the door. If the tape on the door side is lower, could be a hinge problem ? Adjustment may help?
