Gap at door

Is it normal to have a gap at the bottom of the door? I put a straight edge and the door is curved. Both doors have the same curve.

The doors are adjusted really nice. The close and latch solidly, so I am hesitant to change anything.

Wow then that is waaayyy out. Like the door has been bowed somehow
If you put a straight edge on the door, it. Is not straight….. both in fact have the exact same bow.

The bulb seals are brand new, so I hate to replace them yet, but that may be my next option.

You could try moving the door catch, attached to the door jam, towards the inside of the cab so the door shuts a little tighter. There's about 1/8" of adjustment in every direction of that part. Since you're hesitant to make adjustments to the door hinges, the catch adjustment would be easy to undo.

Edit:
My doors are also curved. Probably about a 3/16" gap in the middle of the horizontal section at the bottom.
