Door Alignment

Hi, I have an 83 E-350 RV and the driver's door leaks air around the top from about 3" down the back all the way around the top to about 3" down the front (hope that makes sense?). Anyway, can someone give me some tips on aligning the door to correct this?
Thanks.

It sounds like the door has been used over the years to help get in and out of the vehicle. Causing the upper door hinge to wear or spring a little. You can either shim the bottom hinge or the best thing would be to just replace the hinges on that door with a new set or a good set from a junk yard. Hope this helps.
