Default Door/Fender Gap

Does anyone know how would this gap/misalignment might be fixed by a Dealer on a new Sebring 07? I'd like to know before I ask the Dealer perhaps before they do some pushing and shoving and possibly compromise the paint or door hinges. Seen from head on, the door does not seem completely flush/in plane with fender in that area. Picture attached/embedded.

I had a bad experience long ago witha new Dodge Shadow when the salesman demonstrated how great the door was attached by rocking the car by the open driver's door, sure enough that door had issues not too soonafter I purchased it.

I purchased this new Sebring and I'm really pleased with all the features and design.
