Very smart!!

What is the name of the lift?

whats the part number ?

thanks for taking the time to explain your repairs.

Why are fords such junk. this happened to my 2023. trash. trash trash trash. rented a 2019 rav4 with 69,000km on it in march was 4times the suv this pos is.

vert good

Nicely done, I may have to modify mine now!

Hello, so the good news is Ford issued a recall on this door problem. The bad news is because the door check did break off in the first place, it did have to be taken to the shop. Fortunately, I've got a free rental.

Excellent

Thank you for the video.. Ford actually just started sending out recalls for this problem they say they’re going to be reinforcing the doors or replace it free of charge but still love this video though

I cannot make out how you mounted that thing. Cameras is so close And only from one angle that I cannot make out what I’m looking at.

That would be real good for everybody if everybody had a welding machine lol appreciate you showing us though

Thank you for this video. My wife's 2020 Escape just suffered this same failure and I was able to repair it with your video.🙏👍

The ones they sale at HF now ( at leaset the one I just bought ) comes with a 16mm hex stud stick up off the worm gear. The handles now have a 16mm socket welded to them. LOL they liked your idea and ran with it. The mod i like to see is one were you can pivot the worm gear away from the bigger gear so you can free spool the cable out. At 41 cranks of the handle to get a full rotation of the drum that is a lot of cranking. My cable takes 45 turns of the drum to come completely in. That is 1845 cranks LOL.

This happened to mine. 2020 with broken welds. Sent this video to my mechanic friend and he said he can do this for me. I’d easily pay a few hundred to him rather than a few thousand to ford.

That little plate on the bottom is what I will do! Didn’t even think of that!

Hey there how you doing did your new door did you get it yet and did it break already yet cuz my new door broke already it's the same cheap thin metal and then my passenger door broke

Thanks for the video!!! The rear right door of my Ford Focus 2020 closes and opens with a different force applied (compared to the other three) and some strange sounds. Your video helped a lot in researching what could be the problem!

How can i just reenforce the welds? If i pop that speaker off, could i just reach it with a mig gun?

Thank you sooo much for this video! Luckily I caught it before it completely broke off. The door started making those popping noises as you describe so I did some research and found your video. 4 of the welds broke, but 2 of them were still intact. This allowed me to make the repair without taking the door apart! I used the large 3/16 steel rivets as you described, but I did not use washers. Hopefully this will hold. I'll keep an eye on it and if I need to redo it with washers, I will. Thanks again! This was a great video!

Thanks for the video! We had the drivers door fail and grt replaced and then fail again within 2 years. Now we are out of warranty and the passenger door failed too lol. Will be doing this asap.

Is there a recall ?? This just happened to mine and they want $6000

I like this modification. It would make the table even more useful if it were the same height as my table saw. Have to get some tubing.....

Do you have a seaparate video on how to replace the window regulator? The door check that snapped caused the window regulator to not work properly anymore.

Thank you for the video. I fixed mine for $5.34 and two hours (start to finish) in my own garage, thanks to this video. You have the only good repair video for this issue. Thanks again.

It’s only safe if you know if your generator has an open or bonded neutral, and if open you make it bonded with a bonding plug at the generator.

How's your window? I just fixed a 2020 escape where that reinforcement place was completely out, and the window track also ripped from the door shell.

Thank you! I bought a 2020 ford escape 2 nights ago and got a $3000 discount off the price due to the door. I watched your video before the purchase so I knew what i was up againts. I went to home depot and bought $6 worth of stainless steels nuts and bolts and fixed the issue in just over an hour. The hardest part was getting my hands and a set of small plyers in the door to hold the nuts while i tightened the bolts

Thanks bud. That's what I was planning to do. Good to see we're ahead of it. This is BS.

Okay the good news is that this did work. So I do praise you for saving me $4k - $5k on a new door. The bad news is that the window stops midway through rolling down. Also the door lock does not move even though the door locks and unlock. I must've put the white piece behind the door back on wrong.

What tools do I need to remove the panel?

Will this help the door window move smoothly? Cause my window is having issues due to the rivets.

Would love to purchase a set off of you!

The new version comes with a 16mm socket welded on handle and a 16mm hex head on winch. Looks like they listened to customer feedback.

This is great. The same rivets popped out on my 2020 Escape and the Ford dealer told me it would cost $4400 for a new door and installation. That is some kind of mafia sh*t.

Looks nice. Still holding up? Probably cost well over $100 now with 2023 prices. 😤

put a free wheel sprocket

Gonna have to do this to mine. Just noticed one of the spot welds failed today and my car is just out of warranty 😑

We did not have a right angle drill available so we removed the door to get to the three broken spot welds on the door edge. Repaired all with stainless steel rivets use a pneumatic riveter, sucked everything down extremely tight. Never had to remove the door card either. Start to finish about an hour to complete.

I’m having the same issue with my door. Unfortunately it’s not under warranty anymore. And I don’t have thousands of dollars to pay for it. Could you help me out?

How have these held up?

Expensive ratchet!!! Wow There is a $10 ratchet component that goes between the engine socket and the drill.

Just to clarify, door opening/closing makes giant clacking noise at every "stop." This is the beginning of the issue, since the bracket is shifting and moving around? So, you're saying before it lets loose, just getting it secure with the rivets or screws WILL SILENCE the clacking?

Mine too. Thanks for video

Although the pop rivets are a quicker, less hassle of a fix, I would rather spend a bit more time (and frustration) going a stainless steel bolt and nylock nut. I guess the newer Escapes have bolts in this space now, in addition to the welds. I called my local dealer to have other recalls done and he said he has done about 4 of these in the past couple of years, some they replaced the door and some they "fashioned other means to a repair". (which leads me to believe they bolted the mounts back onto the ripped out spot welds. Sounds like if you let the wind catch the door, expect this to be an issue. Mine personally looks good and no sound, but I may add some bolts as a preventative measure to avoid the issue from ever happening. There are others on forums that have done this fix and it seems like a bolt (although not as nice looking) is going to be a better hold. The idea of using larger washer to hold on more metal would also be advised. Once you have stressed this metal it will only be easier to rip the bolt/nut through the already weakened area.

, PLEASE and thank you. I would like the link and, or the part# for the small motor starter kit

Taking too long .....
