If it were just not sealing, you can (very) gently bend the upper window frame in by placing a couple of 2x4s in the opening and pressing the door up against them to hold in place (maybe with some soft towels around them if you have nice paint) and then pressing evenly across the top of the window frame to physically bend the door.

BUT, kinda sounds like this isn't your issue - if your door was good before and then now it's bad all of a sudden, well, something has given way. (So don't do the above unless it's JUST the case that your door won't seal at the top). By given way, it almost sounds as though the door's integrity has been compromised. I would suspect a crack at the front lower corner of the window frame - the fwd most portion of the vent window. But won't know til you take a good close look.
