| Description of the problem | 2004 - ford 150 - supercab when the rear doors are closed, unless they are closed very firmly, only the lower latch will engage. The doors appear to be closed and only if you pull on the upper portion will you see a small gap open by the roof line.*ak when the front doors are then closed they also appear to be secure and the "door ajar" indicator does not comes on. Because the front door are secured by the back doors, only the lower latch is now holding both doors which i believe may be an unsafe design. |
