Check the latching mechanism. A series of washers are mounted on a pin. Take one out and test for a better fit. If the rub results from a misaligned-door the problem is in the hinges and not easily remedied.

My SPF was delivered to my door with a passenger-side door that resisted opening and would not close. Obviously no one had tried it, from final assembly to delivery at Dynamic to final assembly by Performance Engineering. It was one of several delivery defects - including failing to realign the car after the engine and transmission were installed, shipping the car with a failed right rear seal that allowed grease to scatter the fender well, etc. - that became apparent in the 13,000 or so miles I put on the car before selling it, following repeated attempts at a thorough repair. In the end build quality proved disappointing.
