Dear Jeroen
I think you should fit the hinges, heat the door frame and bend it to fit
the fuselage, let it cool and then fit and bond in the window. 
 The door should then be fixed in shape and you can remove and refit it as
desired without it altering in shape.

Thanks both for your ideas. The problem really is only with the front top.
Top, back and bottom edges fit nicely, the tabs need trimming but would end
up in place. If I start out using the top front as reference I would get
gaps on all other edges and the reinforced parts of the tabs would not fit
in the recess anymore. Perhaps the best thing is to finish it as-is and then
fill the gap in the front edge with flox.
