I have to admit I lucked out; I work on an Army post and the local shop does just about everything and charges peanuts. I think I paid like $30 for them to install it.

I only picked up my 13 F150 about 3 weeks ago, and the first thing me and my wife noticed was how wide the doors swing out. These are a must have! I will be ordering these come pay day next week.
Thank you Northlights for creating such a nice upgrade and simple solution to this annoyance, and for the endless entertainment that is this thread (mainly your narration). You sir deserve a slow clap.
Clap......... Clap...clap

I took about a 4-5 month break, the winter . I was able to instal the passenger sider on 14 SCREW. There is some type of distribution panel over the top of the access plug. I was able to feel around with my large hands and found the mounting bolt on the panel, right side, 8 or 9mm. I removed that one and loosened the other side giving me room pull the plug away enough to get the old part out. Installing new part was very easy. Glad I finished the mod

Alright...we're gonna give the "Just Right" detent project a try.
I think I have the correct part number for the door check assembly:
9L3Z-1522886-A
Retail price is $24...seeing them from the online parts places for about $18.
If anyone can confirm that this is the right number, that would be great help.
I'll get one or two and have the local machine shop carve a third detent in between the existing "too far in" and "too far out" detents.
Disclaimer: Things are a little busy here at "Northlight Labs" right now.... what with curing major diseases, ending global warming and answering the age-old question, "Chicks...what's up with them, anyway?"......
So....be a little patient as we get the crack Northlight Labs "Just Right Detent" (Project #12-42A-Z-JRDT) up and running.....
Sincerely,
Northlight

You can put me on the early bird order list. I like this idea

"Just Right" Door Detent: Possible Mod
Maybe it's because I've lived with those doors since my 05, but I am so grateful to Northlight for making them.
Worth every penny, even at full price.

2nd Amendment Supporter!
Awesome product!!!
The company I work with has a few company trucks & they bought 2 sets...
But they will be buying new trucks soon.... They have the original detents & I told them I would swap them out, so I may have a couple pair of good used ones for sale soon!
This mod is one of the best ones we could ever do for our trucks!
