Jerry, peel back the rubber seal around perimeter of the main door and assess the plastic door skin. Often it is broken at the points where the screws are located and doesn't provide the needed support to maintain proper shape. Note cavalier 72 used galvanized steel. My 2 cents. Very nice machine!

Pretty typical on the 81's ..
most likely due to a shot inner door liner.. and also could have been dropped hard at some point.
if restoring, pretty easy fix...

i appreciate everyone's advice. I was able to fix the door by strapping down the body and slowly jacking up door. Came out great.
