Has anyone had problems with there door latches wearing out, my driver side door wont close tight any more. I t bounces and has a lot of wind noise.

I also have a '97 F-150 ext. cab. I get a lot of wind noise from the passenger side. There's no bouncing however. I'm wondering if this could be a doorlatch problem.

 

in my experience all fords have that wind noise
i just put it off as a ford thing
even my grampas 2001 Navigator leaked air before he wrapped it around a pole (283 freakin miles on it!!!)

every ford we have ever owned leaked air
mine has done it since new on the drivers side

Can't FInd The Anti-Freeze Leak (?)
Tried putting in AlumniSeal and hasn't got hot enough to see if it still has the
Burnt Anit-Freeze Smell

 

It is defenitly the latch, would anyone have a used one from a damaged door, or any place were I could find one cheap?
