Gap at top of driver and passenger doors.

That play is not excessive, passenger doors don't get used as much as driver's doors. Keep the pins well lubricated to slow down the wear though. Either of these videos should, unfortunately, discourage you from trying hinge pin replacement. The pins don't pop out like GM hinge pins, and our hinges are welded to the vehicle, so you can't work them on a bench.

Think of it as trying to "break in" if you lost your keys. You would try to pry the window frame away from the body to create a gap. This is just the opposite. You're pushing the frame back to close the gap.
I mentioned this since there appeared to be damage to the window frame as pointed out by another poster. That spot is typically the place this method is used. I see now that was just the lighting. So again, be careful, use something for padding, Make sure the window and vent are fully open.
