Door Not Closing Fix🔥👀

If your 1995 Ford F-150 or OBS Bronco door doesn’t latch tight when you try to close it, you need to replace the bushing on the strike pin. These strike pin bushings can be found in the help section at most auto parts stores. If you don’t want to spend the money for one of those or you can’t find them. You can always buy half inch pex piping and cut one inch section off of it and use that as a strike pin bushing

[@toddgibsonAZ]

👍 Hinge pins also can be the cause, door sag kills the bushing. Hard door closure deteriorates interior door panels, trim and speakers

[@SlithenTurtle]

was gonna say thatc

[@jaspercats]

I bet it it’s door pins , not the latch pin

[@graybeardproductions2597]

I made a way better video on foord door adjusting

[@DericCribbs]

​@@graybeardproductions2597 would it still apply to 2006 models?

[@nicholascasiano8479]

Nice hack brother

[@BlankBrain]

This also happens when the seatbelt is in the way.

[@AusWash]

Delete that along with the airbags. We die like real men

[@Goodoletom916]

Good ole fords, I used to sell those bushings over and over, plastic fantastic

[@jsloden1]

Awesome tip. Mine shuts but it's loose.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Thanks man!🤙 yup you definitely need the bushing.

[@georgewahlers2854]

1/2" cpvc pipe works better will last much longer

[@WTC7]

Isn't PEX a superior?

[@give-nofacts420]

Cpvp will dry rot and crack

[@EFLO3D]

God no not in winter. Pex all day for this.

[@123brendan100]

For the love of God don't give people the idea

[@ericcash3224]

Blue pex is for cold water though. Not for Ford door latch bushings. U should always use the correct color pipe for the job

[@yourghostisagift]

My 99 and 97 outback both need literally all 8 doors to be slammed shut. I wonder if this is the cause… was just about to look this up lol thanks for the tip

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Could be otherwise the latch can have issues too. You’re welcome man!🤙

[@redscortgt93]

Absolutely loving all these tips! 👍👍

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Thanks Chris!🤙

[@roballan4944]

The door striker and latch both wear together. Change them both.

[@geraldhague6170]

Hey that's great idea using the blue piping that's probably what wrong with my 90 f150 driver door

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Yeah the blue pex is cheap and very easy to cut. Plus you get a life’s supply of replacement bushings. Lol

[@anthonyraffa8924]

Wrap it with electrical tape and stand back and admire your genius it 100% works

[@robertsebastian787]

Great tip!

[@JackWiseman420]

Very helpful thanks man👍🏻.

[@jimmypickle6343]

Also a skidsteer ripping the door off or strong winds may cause this

[@MrArron1357]

Nice tip bro thanks

[@TheMinuteMasters]

No problem 👍

[@richardstewart429]

Check the door hinges also.

[@robertdilullo6765]

Yes hinges.

[@TrapperAaron]

Ford tip #3. Front disc brakes on an f100 have rubber bushings. They do not come w any rebuild kit. Use rubber fuel hose.

[@timschliskey4507]

I've never had that particular issue. It's normally the hinge bushings that we're out

[@wb3161]

Not on a ford is it

[@brandonaustin9353]

That truck needs some door pins 🤣

[@thebanditabromowicz]

Ok now I’m buying a length of pex if I don’t have any laying around lol

[@austinglennkimmel8719]

You can replace those bushings or you can actually adjust the door striker in words a little so the door latch gets a better bite I've had to do that because bushing seem like it was a little too long and it was pledging against the door

[@halleffect1]

or you can fix the real problem, worn door hinges

[@austinglennkimmel8719]

@@halleffect1 why do the door hinge when it's the door striker pushing where it latches he was talking about replacing the whole striker and I, saying or you could have just replace that pushing which I have done before because a bushing keeps your doors from rattling wore out hinges who caused your tours to sag because my 85 S10 had wore out door pins and the doors saged my dad's 94 f150 need the door striker bushings replaced because the doors rattle

[@bartman594]

Electrical tape works great to lasted 3 years till I sold the truck haha

[@eve__________]

Also gotta make sure the door is aligned right, or else you’ll need another striker. Had to do a Mack truck door last week

[@MrFixIt929]

Gonna happen when you slam your door every time it breaks down every 5 miles

[@coltermasson8124]

Which OBS Ford are you suggesting breaks down a lot? There’s a reason they are sought after homie. The 3.8v6, the 5.0 and 7.3powerstroke are all engines famous for reliability

[@crimsonstang]

I bought a 6ft tube of PEX for about $5. Been using it for over a year and they still look brand new.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

It’s the gift that keeps on giving!👌

[@fredcloud9668]

Just wrap a couple of turns of electrical tape around it.

[@rayboyle6889]

The same problem will prevent your Bronco back window from rolling down

[@2pink1stink]

That's incredible thank you!!!!! I have been trying to fix this issue on my bronco for years

[@armando_az1]

I was wondering why that pipe was sticking out

[@ralpheisenbath103]

DOOR HINGES ARE WORN !!! YOU ARE LOOKING ON THE WRONG SIDE.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Door hinge pins can be another possibility but the door strike pin bushing can also cause issues.

[@waldo6524]

Earned my sub

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Thanks man!🤙

[@Mr.Safety.]

Wrap it with duct tape! It works just the same, add more to make it more snug, cut out with a security knife every 6 months and replace

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Hahaha! I guess that works too.

[@Mr.Safety.]

@@TheMinuteMasters everything I do shouldn't ever be replicated, it works for me, but it could definitely be done better😂 also, it makes less of a clunk sound, alot quieter because the duct tape acts as a nice cushion

[@TheMinuteMasters]

@@Mr.Safety. lol! I appreciate your honesty! Yeah I do see the benefit of duct tape as making the latch rattle less.

[@derekcamp9764]

Ask a mechanic what wore that striker out.

[@jhpfmj]

Also the door hinges might need adjusting or replaced

[@Infinite5mokexX]

Anyway in other words if you don’t have common sense stay home and do nothing. Lol

[@reaperssin]

I have a problem just like this except I used my brain and left my door some so it would latch

[@TheMinuteMasters]

You will still need the bushing.

[@mebe2k]

I need to replace that bushing on my 87 f250...good idea using the PEX pipe

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Thanks man!🤙

[@michaelbenoit248]

In the past I’ve used electrical tape, but that’s just a bandaid fix for abt a month then it’ll get junked up.

[@josetrujillo9906]

Dudes be like, “ I traded in my truck because doors were falling off.”

[@davidpeters2201]

About 5 wraps of electric tape will fix it in a pinch

[@borderlineiq]

T50? What kind of name is that? We need at least two more zeroes. T5000 is what Marketing said we should call it.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Hahahaha! Then it would talk back and maybe try to sabotage your truck.😂

[@RENOWN55CHARGE]

That sheet metal needs a trip to the help section 💀

[@thahitman2]

That thing is cleaner then any 10 year old vehicle here in MI. Every truck from 2012 and older is way more rotted out no rear wheel wells left no rockers left and nothing under all the plastic cladding.

[@lindyp38]

Electrical tape will work just fine

[@javaman2883]

For a few months anyway

[@ozzykrahn806]

or the striker is out of adjustment, that year of ford had adjustable door hinges and strikers

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Correct

[@waynelarson1576]

And if you own a Chevrolet change the bushings on the door pins preferably before the holes get ovaled out like mine became 😤🤦

[@thomasarussellsr]

If you look closely at your latch pin assembly, you will see that your pin has been pushed in ever so slightly, as evidenced by the sliver of discoloration around the right side of the silver colored metal section against the blue paint. Loosen that T-50 and pull the latch assembly back out to its original position and tighten it back up. see if the door latches properly, before replacing the bushing.

[@richardeverson6994]

It would just b easier to just call pick n pull. Fixed or repaired daily. F o r d !!!!!

[@lonniestetzler6786]

Worn or badly damaged same thing!?

[@austinkreller4336]

I just put a 5/8 od pipe as a sleeve in place of my old one

[@ASETECH1978]

No your door pins are bad they just don’t not shut properly because of that plastic that plastic part goes bad cause the latch is hitting it and it should not the pins drop the door down and tare that plastic part up

[@matthewbeaver5026]

Wouldn't it be a better fix to grab one from a junkyard. That pex is gonna wear quickly.

[@AmericanRustWorker3369]

Also spray the door locks with chain lube, makes a world of difference

[@iainfreeman4751]

Colby tape insulation tape

[@PxssyGalore]

Oh, that is cool!! Thank You!!

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Thanks Travis!🤙

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Thanks Travis!🤙

[@jonsidds6963]

I have an 81 F250, the water pipe works great.

[@maxmaynard1596]

OBS doors are just the fucking worst. If you have really any winter at all, you're like to snap an interior handle. Thumb buttom on the exterior loves to jam up. Bushings get fucked up. And don't get me started on the hinges. Damn near impossible to find the *right* bushings, mine would wear out in 9 months, and replacing the hinges is a monster.

[@Davidsavage8008]

Could be the hinges.

[@XxXThEOnLy1IamXx]

Door hinges don't matter? 🤔

[@TheMinuteMasters]

You do this and also check your inches.

[@kuntryboy4lyfe125]

Looks like u need bushings in ur hinges. . Door line is not lining up.. it's sagging.. if u pick up on the door as u close it it'll shut everytime. . I had a 94 f150 looked jus like this

[@Mrlonghair]

that bolt with the bushing - Is the adjustment for the door - loosen the t 50 bolt and move it and retighten it (generally inwards) Fixed without bushing

[@ridge69]

Well that's how, gotta use them Phillips Allen wrench bits

[@drewbiedoobie1416]

i coulda used that advice 16 years ago on my fox body mustang hatch. effin thing would pop open on every bump. annoying as f. got rid of the car cuz of it

[@chuckwhitson654]

Yours, however, is fine. Only needs adjusting to compensate for hinge wear

[@roncrate6424]

That seat needs a good sniff

[@boradone1]

Break the bushing off with pliers and wrap it with electrical tape works every time no issue

[@a.l.g7775]

I used electrical tape on mine and just wrapped a couple layers on it and it has been working great so far but probably not a permanent solution

[@Chrissy212]

Sometimes the pen is shifted away from the clasp and it's not that the bushing is bad

[@gregmorris7624]

You are remembering the tips on how to fix a Ford I don't think the numbers go high enough Chevy power

[@claytonwason3488]

There's a reason why they use steel not plastic that will last maybe 5 shuts maybe But I don't It'll even last 5

[@13illyxmaze]

Is it also Possibly because overtime the pin has been pushed back and you just need to loosen it and pull it out more.

[@samshustock1711]

Jeff's bronco grave yard has that part plus a lot more for Ford trucks and broncos. From 60s up

[@1992djg]

Mine were completely gone when I replaced them makes a huge difference in shutting the door

[@aaronjarvis6026]

Or you just do a wrap patch job with some electrical tape just apply new tape once a few months 😂

[@patrickcoyne1292]

my hinges always sagged. if i picked up on the door it would close with or without that bushing

[@kodyfigg107]

Or you can wrap electrical tape around that old bushing to get to another payday

[@mereprince4980]

I just slam mine and call it good but I need to redo everything on it so rn I just abuse it

[@davidvaughn7778]

That post is worn because your hinge pin bushings are worn out and the door is sagging.

[@BleedingWhiteKnuckles]

Or it's because the cab corner is rotted and separating like mine did.

[@michaelbenoit248]

Funny thing is my 93 doesn’t even have the bushing.

[@thomasyates7208]

And you can temporarily make it work with a little electrical tape

[@patmason7276]

They make a thick heat shrink that works good also.

[@pantherplatform]

Does that truck have carpet or rubber floor like my 1996 F150 XLT Straight Six?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

My truck is an XL and originally had the rubber floor. I swapped it out for carpet.

[@tommyjohnson7040]

It’s easier to save the one door hinge and replace the truck lol

[@Ntrc88]

I just cut the bushing in half and push them on it works just as well

[@daltonlandrum9515]

Doorman Help section at your local Baxter auto parts or car quest

[@jonathanderbidge598]

Gmc Jimmy. It breaks the sheet metal in the b pillar lol 😂

[@sween187]

That or your seat belt buckle is jammed in there, 😄

[@SwiftGearheart24]

I've heard of some people using brass bushings as well. They say it's much more durable.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Interesting. Not a bad idea.

[@michaelweymouth4015]

Can they get the heated rear bumper for the older model Fords too?

[@Deerslayercodman]

What about pins bushings and possible before hinges

[@FailedEmmisions]

My first job I occasionally had to drive one of these for a fabrication shop, I fought that door so damn much

[@rossbrumby1957]

And if that bushing is stuffed, its because the door hinge has worn and sagged. Adjust or replace the hinge and the cause of the problem is gone.

[@michaelodonnell8306]

Bushing is a symptom, cause is hinge pins/bushings.

[@puddlerat]

I used electrical tape 😂

[@cra4war]

I busted a window because the stricker was worn out 😅

[@franciscovaldovinos1951]

Nope nope electrical tape is my go to😂😂😂😂😂

[@jasonfulkrod9375]

I agree with him helping people but he lost me at ford

[@hiimholdin2397]

Help section What

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Dorman Help section aka miscellaneous parts aisle.

[@DomVito87]

Had to replace my striker in my 96 k1500. Easy peasey

[@kaidenmarthaler6017]

I wrapped mine in a few layers of electrical tape lol

[@bicdut]

Worked on my broncos tire carrier too

[@teage3527]

Fell out of my Ford taking a hard turn w/ my pit bull in passenger seat - dog hit me I fell out door (hinges and bushings bad. ) roll on 2 way street and stopped few feet before oncoming suv. As I was laid out on road watched the truck jump curb and hit a tree. Dog ran all the way home shaking. - all was alright but ya don’t wait on fixing those classic ford doors.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Damn that’s crazy! I’m glad you are ok!
