2011 Supercab doors poorly aligned!!!
Hi,
I have owned a 2011 Supercab EB 3.55 Lariat White tri-coat platinum dual color. Built date is 03/2011. DEARBORN
I have noticed since new (I even have the pics from dealer before purchase) that the doors don't align well.
The driver side is AT LEAST a 1/4 of an inch off (vertical alignement and 1/8 horizontal). Probably built on a Friday before the buzzer!!!Or QC guy was already clocked out...
Does anyone knows how to adjust them?
I have noticed a screw on the hinges that has a torx bolt sticking out.
The dealer says they are "fully adjustable", but that makes me very nervous that a tech or mechanic starts wrenching on my nicely painted bolts and nuts...I'd rather do it myself if it doesn't require a special tool.
Does anyone have any idea how to do it? Is there a trick or a special tool required.
Thanks,
AVSBEZZY , Florida

Mine was the same way on the passenger side. It's a FX4 SC. When I took delivery the outside passenger door handle didn't work right and had to be replaced. I also had a rattle in the front or back door. I left the truck overnight and when I picked it up it was worse! The mechanic had the doors all out of whach, still had the rattle +wind noise and he scratched the inside door panel all to hell. Been there over a week because they had to order a new panel.
He offered to give me a ride home in the shuttle van but I said "no you need to get me a rental car". I'm driving a Mitsubishi Eclipe now LOL. Supposed to get her back tomorrow and will be looking real close or I'm keeping bthe rental!
Mine was built in KS probably on friday also. I guess it aint job 1!
