Your frame is tweaked. Mine is the same way.

Easy fix? Use your man strength and SLAM THE DOOR SHUT. It will be fixed for probably a few months.*



*May take a few tries"

 

Somehow, that doesn't seem accurate. I believe it's a hinge issue. My drivers front door does it too, and would like to know the actual fix. Bradbilt will come to the rescue shortly.

 

If you body lines are still good and the door does not drop when you open it, the hinges are good.

The gap at the top sound like someone was"breaking" into your truck(AAA, YOU, previous owner.

My suggestion is to take a small piece of 2x4 and put in on the cab striker. then push the door shut. Once the door touched the 2x4, push at the top of the door to try and bend it a LITTLE. Try an keep you knee on the bottom of the door so it doesnt twist the door, it will just SLIGHTLY break the top of the door

 

I may give that a try, because my door doesn't sag a bit, but does have a bit of a gap up on the angled piece. I suppose it would make sense if the p.o. was locked out before, or someone tried to break in.

 

Run the window down first, just to be sure. I'm thinking with the window down, the top frame of the door will be a little less rigid, and will require less force.

 

Awsome! I couldnt figure out how that gap got there or how to fix it. It would make sense that someone tried to break in. I will try the 2x4 idea first thing tomorrow. Great advice Bradbilt.

 

Just means it's worn out... My 94 F150 did it, My 250 does it, my dads 95 f350 did it... #### just gets worn out. Adjust hinges, take off doors and bend on an English wheel, the teflon locking bushings on the frame may also be worn out... Mine have FALLEN OFF. lol. Bradbilt may be onto a good ******* way to fix it

 

Like I said....
" If you body lines are still good and the door does not drop when you open it, the hinges are good."

And NOT *******. It is done in the body shop all the time(of course we have the tool to go against the striker, not just a 2x4 but it is the same principle)

 

Guess I need hinges. My door shuts fine, but finally pulled up on the door today with it open, and it raises a good 1/2 inch or so.

 

It is also possible that the door or the hinge has shifted over time. But bradbilts technique is what we do at the dealership for such warranty claims. So if ford says its ok i would say its a pretty accepted practice.
