I would say check the door seal gaps, but that is a huge process. if it is bent outward, you can actually bend it back inward putting a piece of wood (as to not scratch the paint) at the belt line and then push the top corner of the door in. Its actually done this way in the factory, yes really.
All seems well to the naked eye, but thanks for the heads up, appreciate it. From youtube videos of the kits, this seems to be the default technique for opening doors of locked cars.
