creaking door help
It is driving me nut's every bump and even when the truck shifts side to side I hear a clunk sort of like a creak sound it is coming from the rear pas side door or could be coming from the rear window I took it to ford dealer tonight and they moved the door striker but it only helped in the test drive as soon as I was heading home it started back up it is a 2003 cc f250 with 15,000 miles on it and the sound started about a week ago.
any help would be appreciated

Perform a search on this topic. There have been many complaints about doors rattling and squeaking in the past especially on Super Cabs. My driver's side doors rattle slightly whenever I hit a bump. I have kind of gotten used to it. A while back I tried putting foam weather-strip from Ace Hardware on the small back door where the front door comes into contact with it. It seemed to work for a while. On my truck I think the two doors are actually rubbing together. Hope this helps!

it does sound like it is coming from the corner near the seat belt I will take it in and have them check it out
I rubbed some silicone grease on the weather stripping and it didn't help
O the first thing they blamed it on was the camper shell
thanks

tighten'n the striker plate will fix the problem.. your dealer did this and you said it cured it... so youve located the problem.... they probably did not move it enough or tighten it enough.. it slide back into place on your drive home... if you replace the bolt with a std bolt, not taperd you get allot more adjustment.. try it in a few differnt spots till you get it right.
