Yeah, when I purchased my 2002 Ford F-150 the previous owner told me both rear doors do not open.

He had already performed the zip tie fix and it lasted about a year and half then broke again.

I am not in the habit of doing "rigging" jobs so I purchased these very sturdy Aluminum ends from Ford Rear Doors Wont Open? Ford Door Latch Cable Repair Kit Will Fix It

Then performed the installation and recorded the entire process.

 

So this is only an issue with the Supercab doors and not the crew cabs right?

 

Yeah, no crew cabs just suicide doors and 5th doors with back glass.

These are the vehicles affected, and probably more.
