Default Doors shake on bumpy roads

I have a 2015 F150 Plat and the drivers side door and passenger side door shake pretty bad on bumpy roads which makes the two seals rub together that makes an annoying scratchy sound. It's like the door isn't shut all the way making it firm. Anybody have a solution or having a similar problem? Thanks

To Halfshell it's all normal and within spec. Kinda like water pouring in through a closed sunroof. I would definitely have an issue with it.

I'm beginning to wonder if Halfshell is an actual human being or a Ford produced spam troll-bot designed to deflate emotion, over simplify with condescending solutions, and make any one with problems or concerns feel like they are the ones with the problems and not the ford. And, not to forget if it actually is the ford, the troll-bot is programmed to respond "take it or leave it", go buy a Prius...or my favorite, "you shouldn't own a truck if that bothers you".

Yeah but you know what to expect and it is sort of funny in a F..d up sort of way.

But seriously..... The only way to tighten the door to the body is by adjusting the striker in at the rear and/or adjusting the door in with the hinge to door bolts at the front.

Then you may need to adjust the fender and/or the rear door and so on..... You want a dealer with a body shop (because this would be a warranty issue), and a tech that cares.

Two things that are hard to find these days.

I tend to agree on this one as well. I had a "bad bump" rattle from the drivers door and as it happened infrequently there was no way I was taking the truck into the dealership and opening that can of worms. I just tightened the sh..t out the the hinges and striker and it's not perfect but much better. Giving me even more reason to stay away from the dealership for such a minor issue.
