First be sure the hinges are in order and the door is lined up in the cab. The hinge bolts on the cowl line up the door with the fender and back of the cab. If this adjustment is okay, carefully grab the top of the door and holding it open with your knee pull (bend) the top of the door in a bit. I'd open the vent window so you don't crack it. A 2x4 wrapped in rags propped against the door just below the window and the transmission hump will also work.

It looks pretty good as far as alignment, it would suck to bend the door top in to make the seal and make The top of the door out of wack. Last time I did one, I tossed the stock style stuff and used some universal stuff from my upholstery store that is shaped like "Uo" same style is used on the mid 90 f150's worked great and. Didnt have to fight the seal when closing the door.
