Is it the door bent, or the side of the van bulging. I have a slight bulge in the side of my van which makes the top and bottom of the door separate a little when they are opened at 90 degrees to the van. I would definately not recommend trying to pull the door to square things up. I tried that and ended up being unable to open or close the door.

Had rainwater come in my door,what I did was to slacken the screws on the top half of the door then lift the door up then tighten the screws.No water has since come in.Hope this helps.
