...so I'd say he's got a beef... especially since this is the gap at the front edge of the driver door... that says frame tweaking to me, but maybe not. At the very least, he should get this "top dude at the body shop I worked at" to talk to the adjuster.

I think you'd be amazed at how many times in my 30+year career I've heard the phrase "It wasn't like that before the accident". There just any way that a glancing blow from a car doing under 30mph is going to cause damage that far forward. Plus there is NO exterior damage between the point of impact and the leading edge of the door. The energy that would have to be present to close that gap does not "submerge" at the point of impact and then suddenly "surface" at a point further dowm stream.
More likely he just had never been critical of the gap untill the accident drew his attention to it.
