THe F250 top locking bar has been pushed down which won't allow the door to be shut. How can I move this "c" shaped metal piece up to allow the door to shut? This metal piece is the piece that would hold the door shut normally.
THank you for any advice-

lift up on the outside door handle and at the same time , with your finger or a screw driver, lever the 'c' shaped piece outward and up ,bob

 

THANK YOU! I will be trying that in a second. DOes it make any difference that door has electronic door lock and a thumb button handle release?

That worked beautifully. Add to your list of today's accomplishments preventing a marital battle!

I used to have an old chevy s10 that did that all the time....Guaranteed that you'll NEVER forget this fix...

 

You are very welcome , respectfully , bob
