Disco 2 Front door frame/surround repair?

Hi,

I'm not sure how common this is (if at all!) but both my front door frame are pushed up by the windows when they are closed to full extent and this is causing the top of the frame on the passenger door to "clip" the bracket on the rain gully for my roof-rack - I can get around this by ensuring that the passnger window is not 100% closed but that's a bit of a faff!!

So, before I start looking for replacement door frames or taking doors apart to see if they can be adjusted etc I was wondering if anyone else had come across the same issue and had any suggestions - ie, can they be fixed/adjusted or is it a case of new surrounds (if I can find them!)?

frame is bolted to the door at both ends are bolts loose

As per James' reply. it can only be the bolts loose or come out. Door card off and there is one bolt at the bottom of each door frame leg.

None of the visible bolts appear to be loose, I guess I'll need to remove the door panel to check in more detail. The frame seems to move a good 5mm upwards when the window is 100% closed
