I had that problem with a -82 VW Golf (Rabbit) Diesel I used to own . Took
it to a friend who has his own workshop and he said it was an easy fix that
he normally wouldn´t preform in front of customers since it was a bit
rough......
He opened the door, lovered the window, put a knee as high up on the inside
of the door as he could reach and pulled the windowframe towards himself a
couple of times
Then we tried the fit and it was tight !
He explained to me that the top part of the door was too weak and that this
was the way to adjust since the door was warped and impossible to get tight
by adjusting hinges !
I don´t know if it´s useable on Vanagon doors......
