Al,
You will have to continue working with the top hinge supports of the door.
As I recalled I had the same bow in the front edge of the door that stuck
out. I had to shim with washers at first under the door hinge supports and
the plane. Once I had the door fitting right I made shims the size of the
washer stack. It's a weird angle but if you continue messing with the space
there the fit will come. Once I found the fit I had to sand the top door
hinge supports down a bit to meet the fuselage. I think your answer is at
those supports.
Hope this helps,
Jeff
