Door Adjustment

The entire top side of my drivers side door of my Pantera has come out about 1/4 inch or so, and the bottom has gone in about 1/4 inch (see link below). I only assume that the top portion of the door hinge and maybe the stricker plate too has moved outward slightly over time (maybe loosened). In order to make the door shut completely, I have always had to slam the door pretty hard, and so I assume over time that this has caused the top door hinge to move outward somewhat because the rubber may be too thick around the door. Before I start messing with it to try and correct the upper hinge (which I only assume is the issue), is there any tips on procedures as to how this may be aligned correctly? Does the hinges have some adjustment room to slide in or out? It has become so out of wack that the bottom of the door is almost scraping the inner rocker area due to it toeing inward and the upper oportion toeing outward.
