5 minute fix my friend. Nothing wrong with the truck, your door is out of alignment by 1/16 of an inch, each fix
Feel so much better; just saw the videos and posts on how to fix. Will give it a try. Thanks. Whew.

This resolved my issue. Quick fix while I was supercharging yesterday and the door looks aligned after the fix so no micro adjustments required.

I think my rear passenger door has same issue so will take a look. Thanks all.

Thank you for this thread and all those that contributed, including videos. I am also bumping this as it resolved my issue and may help others. I had this same problem with my '23 PowerBoost and always forgot to look it up when I would get home. When my Lightning did the same I wanted to find a solution and this couldn't have been easier (other than Ford doing better on this from the factory I guess).

On the Rouge factory tour I noticed a guy at the end of the line with a rubber hammer who was doing QC. I've purchased two new Ford vehicles and one of them needed a door adjustment. Maybe the hammer department needs some improvement.?

Let me know if this works for you.
This video was a well done demonstration. I adjusted my door after watching this and the rattle is gone. Thank you.

I noticed my drivers side door has increased wind noise. When the door is closed I can see from the outside that the upper part with the keypad on it isn’t closing flush with the body like the other doors. Hopefully that YouTube video does the fix. This is my first F150 but it seems this is common from what I’m reading.

If you’re under warranty, a dealer body shop can fix for free too.

I just found this thread. THANK YOU @astrand1 !!!

This was driving me crazy especially for a $70K+ vehicle. The striker plate is to difficult to move since you need the special Torx Plus bits to loosen it and that still didnt fix my issue.

Interesting thread. I don't think mine is as quiet as it should be for a new truck. I'll have to listen around all four doors but perhaps a small adjustment inwards of both the top and bottom bolts, one at a time after marking the outline of the factory position of the hinge with a pen or magic marker, will tighten up all the doors.

Don't know if I'll get the dead silence of a Buick or Mercedes in those TV commercials but can't hurt to try.
