Door fit (another thread!)

I'm doing the initial fitting of my first door.  It actually fits reasonably
well; however, the forward edge at the top of the door sits 2-3 32nds proud
of the cabin cover surface between the door edge and the forward latch.  The
door isn't touching the canopy there; rather, the curve of the door isn't
sharp enough.  Attaching the hinges should pull it down somewhat, but
definitely won't be flush.

For you grizzled door veterans, is this something I should be able to fix by
a combination of sanding the door surface and building up the canopy, or
would that end up looking bad?  I could slide the door down a little, but
that makes the lower sides look bad.

BTW, thanks to Les for the heads up on avoiding gaps when bonding the halves
together.  I used a ton of epoxy/flox around where the final cut would be
and don't have any gaps.
