im not sure a 2 inch gap is possible :lol: take it you mean 2 cm sounds like the top hinges need adjusting
if its the same as my van on the inside of the rear pillers there are access holes to get to the hinge nuts losen them off get doors state tighten back up

Have the hinges been re-welded at any point or the bodywork around the hinge bases been re-built?

Mine are on the pi$$ due to a botched up re-building on the lower corners by the previous owner - tight at the top and 1.5" gap at the bottom :evil:
