Adjusting catch on ext-cab rear doors
2001 F150 X-cab
Does anyone know how to adjust the top latch on the rear doors to get it to engage more - push the door in more at the top. Mine is engaging and latching okay, but its a tad loose at the top and I would like to adjust it, just can't figure out how.

I posted the question a couple in front of this one but this is what I did......
The U hook on the frame at the bottom can be adjusted in and out. Use those star type sockets and losen the 2 screws. Once lose, just put an extension up against the bottom plate and slow tap away pushing towards the inside of the truck. Once it moves inward to where you want it then tighten things up. As you tighten it up, it will want to move back out on you cause of the turn of the socket. This is how I did it. Good Luck !!

You may need to take the inner door panels off and adjust the cables which operate the latches.
