Yes, proper door fit is essential. Is the fit good and no slop in the hinges? I would think that if you have good panel fit, even if the hinge is worn, you'd still be able to get decent window fit when the door is closed. Dit it fit before you had it taken apart?

I was never quite as happy with the drivers door or glass as I was with the passenger door after paint. I hoped that I could get it squared away with some patience. It’s definitely better than it was. I may try relaxing the inward tilt at the front of the glass just to see if that improves it. As she sits, she’s definitely better than when I started adjusting - and honestly good enough for the limited fair-weather, windows down driving I will be doing.

Is the door possibly tilted outward or out away from the body?
Just a small amount would be magnified by the glass at full up.
