Default any way to angle the top of the door further in?

so today i had a body shop put some used hinges on my car and they said there was some minor cracking on the door like most of our cars have but the hinges were definately bad. anyway, as i went to leave i rolled up the window and i could see a gap between the window and the body right around the a piller. i took out a $1 bill and was easily able to slide it between the window and the weatherstripping. they said they didn't adjust the window at all but that they could clearly see how there was a lot more of a gap than on the pass side which wasn't like that before. i think they probably just need to tilt the door in at the top somehow.

they said it took them ~ 4 hrs to adjust the door to get it to close good/line up (i only got charged 1 hr labor by the book at least) but i still can't believe they didn't adjust it with the window up.

any ideas?

looks like they tried adjusting the door and it almost started sagging again so they got the door back to where it was closing good and pulled the window in.
