How's the lines for your door/quarter panel? All the lines should have the same amount of gap. Accidents and sagging take a toll on unibody cars.

The factory installed the doors before painting the car, and lined them up with the quarter and rocker, straight. Then the installed the fender, after painting, and lined the fender to the door.
