I need to slide my pass rear door back as it's too far forward. The alignment in and out and with the front door is good. I know how to adjust that with what bolts to loosen. My question is what bolts do you loosen to slide the top of the door back?

The fore/aft adjustment is much more involved. You have to access the bolts by taking the trim off the B pillar. Not sure I'd want to do it as DIY.

New 2019 F-150 Platinum, 2 days old notice driver rear door way out of alignment - look at pictures of rear door edge to cab body lines. Took to local dealer (since purchased from another dealer some distance away whom wouldn't DX) tried to align and replied it's not right and will require extensive body work, "take it back to where you bought it". So I did, been there over a week and tried a new cab corner and then consulted a third body shop who will attempt another cab corner? Tried to call Ford CS, useless. Dealer says I need to initiate contact with Ford and Ford says dealer does. Strap in I guess, the system is designed to exhaust you. I can't count the number of Ford products I have owned, truly have a hard time thinking of switching to another but this is ridiculous on a truck with a sticker of $67k. Need advice on how to contact someone at Ford who cares since obviously the employees building the product and quality control doesn't.

That is horrendous! I’m on here searching for how to align my ‘19 Supercab’s rear door and saw your photos. Hopefully you were able to get it repaired by now.

I'd attempt to align it yourself first. Saw the service manual instructions somewhere here, but don't remember where. Unless you've never touched a wrench, I bet you'll do a better job than any dealer, and without adding any scratches, scuffs, stains, or any other damage to your truck. My doors are acceptable, so left them alone, but I had to align the moonroof's rear panel, and the hood. The moonroof front panel is marginal on the right side, but not bad enough to mess with the stupid accordion cover. Not the best QC for sure .

My driver’s front door makes a lot of rattling noise when going over bumps. The top doesn’t completely seal and it causes the door seal to make noise.

Mine if coming from behind the rear seat somewhere. It's only evident at low speeds and isn't a rattle nor is it a clunk but it is ANNOYING!
