align door on 2001 supercab

I noticed the top of the two doors on drivers side on the supercab hit each other once in a while. When the doors are closed they don't hit but my guess is the cab flexes somewhat and then it happens. The pain has rubbed off.

So it seems the rear door of the supercab needs to be adjusted so the top part is a little bit more to towards the rear of the truck. The gap on the rear door and the cab itself is a bit bigger on top than on the bottom.

How easy is it to adjust this ? I'll check first to see if the door has any play but I doubt it.

Do I just unscrew the top hinge to body bolts and adjust ? Any tricks to this ?

That's what I would do.....check the hinges to make sure they a screwed in tight. Sometimes being just a little loose will cause movement

I CANNOT STAND this dumb suicide ext cab bodies from ANY manufacture. The other day I took my kids out on the dirtbikes and didn't realize how I parked at the pit I had the truck completely flexed out (thanks Detroit locker&#128077 anyways go to open the drivers door and it wouldn't! Freaking cab was flexing and everything was bound up, I miss the welded up ext cabs. At least they were quiet, didn't flex, and had no wind noise

It doesn't seem from flexing. The doors are just not hanging right when on flat ground. Plus the top of the doors seem to have a little bit more metal sticking out. Sloppy metal work, Ford.

But you are right, the lack of door post in the middle is not helping. Next truck will be supercrew.
