That's why the inside window is. Also why there's dents on the door by the FA's seats.

The outside window is scratched up from the canopy at a jetbridge that rests on the plane. I know that places like CLE (or at least it did) fit fairly flush, some outstations that use the little ramp, there's a much larger gap. (You can see the same thing on planes that board from door 2L, there's much less inward slope.)
