Help Needed On Bodywork

My car is in the body shop undergoing a full respray, Im just at the stage of trying to get all the panels/gaps lined up before it goes for finnal paint and im having a little trouble with the door window frame gaps. The guy in the bodyshop says its normal and they are all like it but I just want to check before it goes any further.

The problem is the front of the window frame starts off with about a 8 - 10 mm gap then this tapers closer to the A post up to the top corner where it is pretty close to the frame probably only about 3mm clearance in the corner. Ive tried to compare this to pics of other cars but its a very difficult area to see in a normal pic. I would be greatefull if anyone can supply some nice closeup pics or the gaps around the door window frame.

Thanks Steve

Is it a coupe? That's what I would at least assume.

Try PM'ing or searching for DarrylD. If anyone knows how to hang a door it's him.

Here's a thread by him on door gaps.
