There are some shims in between the hinge and the hinge panel

I've seen cars where they have had a hinge panel repair section put in, but fitted inside the door shut. This effectively closes the gap up for the door by a couple of mm.

Or the hinge pins are badly worn - before altering shims (if there are any), can you lift the door up and down with it nearly closed ???

If yes, the pins are badly worn.

Also, there should be oval (removable) plates the other side of the A pillar where the nuts tighten down - if these have been ommited in the past and just nuts/washers used (or worse still just nuts) the weight of the door tends to distort the hole that the stud goes through allowing the door to drop or move backwards.
