Your Ruby is most likely suffering from the very common 'droop' that afflicts many a 7. Over time the bodyshell becomes distorted and the fit of the doors becomes less and less correct. Think of the bodyshell slightly banana in profile and you will understand the effect. There is no easy way to cure this and most of us just live with it.
I have never seen it done but I am told that the cure involves taking the body off the chassis, inserting into the passenger compartment a couple of strategically placed acro props and winding them out to bend the body back to shape. Then repaint the whole thing because the paint has cracked off. Not for the faint hearted! Would be very interesting to hear if any forum members have attempted the process with a Ruby.
