Downside, now they look great, seemingly perfectly aligned, but the passenger side rear door is hard to close. I think the striker needs adjusting. Probably at my next dealership visit, but again, they'll probably make me leave it for a day *sigh*
You can adjust the striker yourself- takes a torx(forgot the number) take a pencil draw a line around the striker for reference loosen bolts move it a little out or up or down and repeat till it feels better just make sure the rear edge of the door doesn't stick out from the cab. If you can't get it, put it back on your reference lines and head to the dealer.

Default Just accept it.

I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m left with no choice but to accept the fact the you’re never going to buy a vehicle in 100% perfect condition, even if it’s new. I’ve been trying to get little BS things fixed under warranty that I started Noticing a couple of weeks after buying my new 2018 STX f150. Lol I’ve been to the dealership 1-2 time a month for 5 months and I’ve owned the truck for only 5 months. They are all little bs issues like the doors not being aligned, or the chirping noise ford put a TSB out for, or the whistle the throttle body would make around 1500-2000RPMS. Or the driver side seat belt I’m still waiting on a new tensioner for because it pulls to tight around my body... lol I know now why someone got rid of it at 6,333 miles. Anyway what I’ve come to learn is that the dealerships usually suck at getting the problems fixed. You will spend way too much fuel and time. My door has been realigned about 5-6 times and it’s still not right lol. I love The truck over all but my OCD will kick in hard asf when I buy My next truck. I’m going to spend about 2 hrs looking over every inch of the next one before I sign a damn thing.
