Read the 1999 news in the news section of our site for an article on this and also do a search for prior postings in this forum. This has been discussed in depth and technical service bulletin numbers posted for it. :-)

Mine also has them,I've held the inside door
handle in the open position and closed the door . I was not surprised to see that the top of
my doors contact the body before the latch and
main door assembly. I believe this causes these cracks. If I ever replace the doors I
hopefully can adjust the door or modify the mounting of the weather strip to stop this problem. Welcome to the world of F-150's,,,65

You think if I weld the third door shut
