Similar issue...
My NSR door (top part) was replaced when I experienced a cable snap and subsequent loss of window action up/down. Due to the inclement weather at the time, we put the door back together and it's always been slightly reluctant to close. This can be negated by using slightly more force when slamming/closing the door. I don't have any leaks.
It's certainly a job that I need to revisit and seeing your post has reminded me. I'm convinced that I'll have to focus my attention on the hinge part and in particular the angled aluminium shim located there, and also possibly change the angle of the door striker post at the rear edge of the door. I've enclosed a couple of photos of the way my car currently looks. I'm sure the principle remains the same despite the extra length of my rear doors (LWB).
