There is suppose to be a gap, but, there is also a weather seal that should be on top of the door to seal that gap. Our 2003, which we traded off earlier this year, had the same issue. The original...

It depends on the actual cause of the leak. It could be something as simple as tightening a few screws, or, a bit of caulk. If your unit is still under warranty, I'd take it to the dealer, and let...
