Door alignment...

[Stealth88]

I adjusted mine myself. It isn’t rocket science.

asked for my deposit check back and was told it was already shredded because I was a no-show. Lol. Then, my credit union sent me an alert that a large amount debit occurred....I look online on my bank account and they freaking cashed my $2500 deposit check!

"I will wait until the close of business tomorrow for the delivery of a cashier's check before filing the police report."

Honestly, almost leaning that way. It's really only noticeable when you're looking at it straight on, or at an extreme angle. The door closes perfectly and zi have no wind noice issues.

This is the answer—no wind noise, leave it alone.
My 21 SuperCab has alignment issues as well.
Don’t care as there is no noise within the cabin.
The doors all open and close just fine without slamming.

Hate to have the doors adjusted and end up with wind noise, rattles in the door latches, or anything door related later

I had alignment issues with a 16 super cab. I let the dealer have two tries at it. After the second attempt, as I drove home, I heard a lot of wind noise, glanced upwards at the top of the door, and could see the sky between the cab and the door. “Nice work, Boys”!

I adjusted them myself, as good as I could, and fixed the wind noise but could never fix the unsightly alignment issue.

I did come up with a way to rid myself of the poor ‘doors’ alignment, and have been smiling ever since. I’ll keep smiling after my 2024 RCSB arrives soon.

i believe it’s more of the hinge related adjustment.
i could be wrong though..

Correct

Just got done at Wild Willie's body shop. 100% fixed it. In and out in about an hour.

YAY! Looks awesome!! Did you go to Wild Willie's based on my earlier reply? What did you think of them? Isn't that place a beast in its own right?! I was like OMG when I first went there. But, how the heck did you get it fixed so quickly? I had to wait 2 months just to get my a/c evap coil service appt done 2 years ago. LOL. Oh, maybe because yours was a body shop appt?

Oh my! I wish I had thought of this! Great idea! I think I was just so in shock that I wasn't thinking of an appropriate response at the time! But, this is priceless haha. -Andrea

Look at _any_ 14th gen F-150 and you will notice some imperfection in door and body panel alignments. Ford's high tolerance for misalignment is unreal.

What was the process to perform the adjustment? Did you adjust the hinge(s) on the door or the frame?

I did indeed. The guy at the body shop was an absolute pro. What he actually did was adjust the rear door to align with the front door. While I was up there, I had Wild Willie's install a Roush intake on my 3.5L. Great experience!

I have a '22 Platinum and the right rear door is poorly aligned and does not open / close properly. I've been hesitating to take it to a dealer because I'm not confident they can actually fix it. I actually bought the truck from Akins Ford, so may be worth the hike back out there to get this taken care of.

Would anyone be willing to describe the hinge adjustment process? My steering wheel was off from the factory and I adjusted tie-rods and got it dead on, but for some reason the door adjustment seems more intimidating.

Hey KC! So glad to hear this! I was hoping you might give them a shot and had a great experience!! I'd love for them to spruce up my Wrangler tires and stock Plat wheels but I think that might cost me an organ to sell! Haha.

What type of law do you practice?

Simon, definitely go back to Akins. Sounds like the other guy, KC, also went there and they solved his issue. Maybe he can give you info on what exactly they had to do. Akins and Wild Willie's is on-point! Just be mindful, their community had the unthinkable happen yesterday so they all may feel a little down for months to come! Let us know how it goes! -Andrea
