"Settling" doors is a common problem on 2 door cars, especially big American
ones (see below).  It's usually caused by wear in the hinges, and many cars
have removable pins and bushings that can be changed out to restore the fit.
You might check if anything like this exists for Coupes.  This would be
better and probably easier than attempting to adjust the hinges to compensate.
