Door adjustment???

I have a 99 SC F350 with 79,000 miles. The driverside door and half door squeak and rattle like crazy over bumps, is their any type of adjustment on these doors? The rattling is driving me nuts... thanks guys, Judd

This hasn't really been talked about lately but if you do a search I think you will find some long descriptions on how to "fix" it. The latches for the rear door can be moved inward slightly so it closes tighter... not sure how well it works, but it is worth a try.

good luck

It works great. Changing out the latch bolts from the bugle head torq to hex head gives you a little extra adjustment.
Never had a rattle again after doing it. Next, get some Door Ease from Napa for those pesky door seals and they will be quiet also.

I just bought a F350 CC 7.3 w/18k miles and the driver's door rattles also, very annoying. Thanks for the info....
