DRIVER DOOR NOT FLUSH

[TitanGuy]

I've seen a few threads on this issues with multiple solutions. The top corner of my driver side door is proud about 1/16 of a inche. That does not bother me. But was has been very annoying is the rubbing sound I hear when I hit a bump. Also at higher speeds I have had air leaking out of the door. I tried to bend it myself and it seemed to work for a day. Today was the last straw, hit a pothole on the freeway at about 55. It sounded like the door opened. I could hear the shift in the weather stripping all around the door. Before a take if to the dealer want to hear from some of you on what to expect. FYI I have a 24 lariat less then a month old.

I'd bring it in, maybe the body shop has a procedure for tweaking the mounts & striker so that it closes correctly.

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.

I have the exact same issue! May I send you my VIN so you can look into it as well?

Hi. Checking to see what the outcome of this was. I have the same issue. The driver door is definitely out of alignment and not shutting fully when compared to the passenger door. I have the Premium EV Care Warranty and brought it into my dealer this am and they want to charge a diagnostic fee of $250/hr just to look at it and confirm it would be covered under the warranty.

Simple adjustment of the hinges is all you need. One 13mm wrench iirc

Thanks. Turns out the main hinge bolt was loose.

Now I’m trying to figure out how to adjust the rear door that is sagging and too tight near the top outer edge. Doesn’t seem to be a way to adjust this?
