Thanks for your response. The seal looks okay but there’s a stiffener inside the seal on the body side to prevent cracking. Its position is off to the side of the striker and the passenger side it’s directly in front of the striker. Are you able to share your before and after photos

I can definitely tell the door latch stressed when opening the handle as it feels tight when pull on the handle and the door slight pops open like it’s under pressure, unlike the passenger side. Your may be slightly better than mine. I’m sure door needs a little adjustment. The passenger rear...

I wish it was just a matter of lube. I tried lubing the latches but no luck. The door is definitely not aligned top to bottom or parallel from top to bottom. The bottom is closer to vehicle frame opening compared to the top .

my brothers a licensed body man and has worked at the Chrysler plant in Brampton for many years in metal finishing. He also suggested using the 2x4 at the bottom of the door and try to bend it at the top. But I think we will attempt to loosen the hinges first and see if it will adjust. Do you...

Yes, did looked at that. The bottom is slightly scraped along the top right side, the top is scraped dead centre which should be normal. There is no way to adjust the bottom as the screws self centre. The top striker hasn’t been investigated yet as there’s a black cover over it that say airbag...

mine looks fine from the outside as well when firmly closed. The sensor should be fine, it's doing its job by detecting that the door is not fully closed. I would say you’re having the same issue as mine except your door is a little better adjusted than mine. I will look at the door hinge...

Yes, I’ve had the same issue. The door seems like it’s closed but it isn’t unless it’s closed firmly or slammed. It all depends on how well it was aligned. I’m going to have to try and align it myself.

I don't use that door often but you’re right, I should have reported it. Although sometimes they make it worse. I’m not too impressed with my dealer.

yes, I noticed the same thing. The door is not aligned properly. There’s too much gap at the top when door meets top latch. Hoping someone experienced the same thing and resolved it. Yours is probably a little better aligned than mine. I still have to use strong force at the top to close it...

I hope so too. I hope the adjustment doesn’t through off the front door from latching into the rear.

Thank you. I will try adjusting the door with a helper. Hopefully there’s inwards movement at the top hinge. The bottom striker has some play but it self centres once the countersink screw's are tightened. The uppers strike has a plastic cover that’s says “airbag”, so I’m a little hesitant to...

Does anyone with a super-cab have to slam the rear door for it to latch properly? I noticed on my 2020 Ranger, the rear door meets the bottom sticker before the top, compared with the passenger side. The passenger rear door closes with ease compared to the driver side rear door. It appears that...

Finally installed nut inserts for oil filter access. Three at top is all that’s required for filter access. I lost the original at bottom so I installed an insert. I purchased a cheap insert tool from Amazon with SS M4x0.7 inserts. It was quicker than I thought and I didn’t have to remove the...

I’ll set it with a bolt, nut and washer. Poor man’s tool. Place larger nut over a bolt that fits the insert with a washer and tighten with the insert is in place. It compress the insert just as the tool would do. A bit of a pain and I’ll have to remove the tire anyhow for easy access.

Thanks, I’m going to do it as well. One broke trying to remove it. Not worth the hassle trying to save them. The inserts are a great idea.

I’m looking to modify my oil filter access as well and I prefer your method. Can you provide me the link or rivet nut size and fastener type you used. Thanks!

My 2020 Ranger battery just failed after 3 years, one day after the warranty period. Dealer wouldn’t honour the warranty. They provided a discount but now I’m discussing with Ford Canada. The Ford Pass app advised me of low battery one day before my warranty expired. Sunday Oct29/23. Ford Canada...

Thanks for this detailed procedure. Can you advise if this upgrade controls the heated mirrors from the rear glass defrost button, located at the climate controls?

Thanks Dave, the micro 2 bladed fuse fits perfectly. I used fuse 37 for switched power and fuse 26 for constant power at the driver side fuse panel. The three bladed fuse pig tails are trash. The plastic mold is too thick to properly fit into the fuse socket. I’m glad I switched this up to make...

Thanks Dave, if 37 comes on with ignition that would be what I’m looking for. I will test it out. I’ve ordered the two prong fuse pigtails and I’m sure they will fit just fine. The micro three prong don’t fit with out a little filing down. Thanks again for your help!
