DOOR WON'T OPEN! | 2004-2008 Ford F150 Extended Cab Rear Door Repair

[@DavidLongley-l5v]

I'd have never figured this out on my own. Fantastic video. I kept thinking, "Oh, I've got it from here." I most certainly did NOT have it from there. You walked me through every single step of the repair and I am oh so grateful. Thank you!

You are most welcome @DavidLongley-I5v. I am so glad it was helpful to you. Thanks for posting!

Your video saved me so much time and money - thank you! Both of my doors went out at the same time and I can’t imagine having to pay a body shop to do this. You’re a life saver!

Great video. The cat falling over for some love was adorable, give him/her some scratches. I bought the parts from your affiliate link, and feel confident on doing the replacement. Kudos to the person operating the camera too, really puts this together nicely!

[@hopfammedia]

Thank you Jayme, will do! We're unfortunately not an affiliate, but we're glad our link was a help. We'll be sure to pass the word along to Laura and our camerawoman Julie! :)

This was just what I needed. My 04 lost the right side door a couple years ago, which was terrific when we were moving, had to load everything in on the drivers side - well a couple months ago, that one stuck too. That one always required a mighty yank to get it to open, but even that didn't work. I already knew about the plastic pieces breaking, but just kept putting it off and finally got my two sets of the replacement parts - had to go to 5 different Autozone stores to find two sets. Anyway, I followed your instructions to get the panels off and get the doors open which was a real leap forward. Then I got sidetracked two more weeks, and finally tackled the passenger side door this past Friday. I didn't notice that one of the retainers was different from the other three - so you saved me some fooling around there. It was difficult to slide the new parts over the cable insulation. I did all but the bottom one with brute force, that would simply wouldn't budge past about halfway, including the old WD40 trick. To the rescue was my trusty torch cigar lighter. My wife rigged up a socket and ratchet to hold the big end, I pushed with some good pliers on the cable and torched the middle for about 3 seconds and it slipped right on. So I again followed the video to put it back together, not trusting my memory from 2 weeks ago. I am 66 years old after all. I did want to mention - I think somebody else mentioned too, the bolt heads that hold the lower large door panel on were 6mm on my 04, perhaps this was changed. And the single bolt behind the window control panel was 10mm not 8mm. The thing that had me worried after taking it apart was getting to the bottom latch - again I stopped watching the video because I didn't have the parts yet. Never would have guessed that there were three more torx bolts from underneath. So my passenger side door is done and works better than it ever did. The driver side is all apart, but the cable popped out of the latch mechanism so I will need to figure out how to pop the latch without it, or string it back in to manually pull it. At least I know what it looks like now. Once I get that door popped open, it should only take me about an hour to finish the job. I love youtube. I replaced the passenger side front door window regulator on this truck a few years ago thanks to a youtube video, I did the job for $94 including the part. The parts for this latch fix cost $12.99 a set at Autozone once I found them. I also watched a great video on drywall finishing back about 12 years ago. My wife and I finished our garage beautifully, having never done it before. I've seen "pro" jobs that looked much worse. I've always believed never pay anybody to do what I can do myself, and I'll keep being a DIY guy until my arms and legs don't move anymore. Thanks again for the outstanding video!

[@terryjoyner4457]

I am having a lot of trouble adjusting the tension so the doors will close

[@hopfammedia]

It is tricky.

[@AmazingWord23]

Great video! As others have mentioned, the 9 latch tork screws are t27, not 25 or 26.. Definitely heat them with a torch (mildly) and they come right out. Also, the plasticoated cable ends that slip into the new pieces need some light sanding/grinding to smooth the indentations from the broken adapters. This makes installing the new ones very easy. The plastic cover just peels slowly away from the door with a little patience - no need to cut it away. Thanks so much for taking the time to create this.

[@hopfammedia]

Thanks for the input, Norm! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@briancarroll.]

This ABSOLUTELY needs to be the top comment!!! The video was well put together, however these tips would have helped immensely.

[@winstonbeech3418]

I did the opposite... I was able to crank the torx screws off without much trouble, I saved the torch to slide that one last retainer on the bottom cable! I didn't even look at what number torx it was, I just got lucky on the first one I pulled out!

[@hopfammedia]

@winstonbeech3418 thanks for posting. Very glad you were able to complete this repair!

[@pastorlugo121]

Outstanding video. This is the best lesson I have seen on this mechanical issue pertaining to a Ford F-150...particularly because the professor has a methodological way of showing you how to open the stuck door and how to replace the broken pieces in a logical way. Not only is she a great mechanic but gorgeous as well. My wife loved the kiddy cats as part the lesson plan. Kudos to you.

[@hopfammedia]

Thank you for the kind comment! We try hard to put out great content, and it's so encouraging to hear that we've been a help. And we sure do love our kitty cats!

[@rickgish6660]

so, a year or so later, this video is still helping people or at least me. I am very vehicle challenged. I did not want to spend the money going to an auto shop. I have a 2008 F150. Both back doors stopped working at almost the same time. One was completely not working; the other, I had to push in, pull the handle and pull the door. I decided to fix them, bought the same thing you did for the doors. I watched your video and was able to complete the task. However, it took me almost 3 1/2 hours, it took forever for me to get the metal all the on the cable and removing the old stuff from the cable. I had 2 bolts left over, I watched the video again and found where each one went. The one behind the window control. thank you so much for the DIY.

[@hopfammedia]

That is awesome Rick!!! So glad our video was helpful, and thanks for watching!

[@rlf3c]

Thank you soooooo much for this!!! I have both doors broken on my truck and no money to pay somebody to fix it!! Y’all are doing God’s work by filming these videos for folks trying to do things on their own!! Thank you again!!

Life saver, thank you.. been procrastinating learning how to do this for a few years.. But I have a son on the way and have 2 months to get this fixed. Have had my truck since 2008 and the half doors stopped working a few years ago. My wife and I never used the back seats other than storage or to move things from one place to another so had no use until now. Much much appreciated!

[@hopfammedia]

That's great @jaxjax4520. Congratulations on your son! Thanks for posting!

[@BillChilders-l9u]

This is an extremely helpful video. I suppose that I would have eventuality repaired my doors on my 2006 F100 on my own but this video made it so much easier. Even included a link to the parts that I needed. Both doors repaired now. Great job. Thank you.

[@hopfammedia]

Thank you Bill! Glad to help.

[@lonnieblackwell9215]

This is probably the best video out on repairing the doors on your Ford truck. I followed the video and watched it four times and I still can't get my door to shut. I know that you said play with the tension but I must be missing something. Great video though.

[@hopfammedia]

Thank you Lonnie! It's probably a tension issue. Have you considered using a local auto bodyshop to set the cables?

[@davidbeal3293]

Thank you for this video. I have to do this on my father-in-law's truck over Christmas break. He hasn't been able to open the rear doors in a couple of years. With this video, I was able to order the parts and pack the tools I'll need to take to fix it.

[@hopfammedia]

Very glad to read your post David! I expect your father-in-law will be quite pleased. Thanks for helping him!

[@ChuckChamberlin3]

for a year the passenger side rear door could not be opened. The first couple videos i found were intimidating to attempt a DIY repair. So I didn't do anything. two days ago the driver side rear door suddenly would not open. Found this video, ordered the parts and received them today. Following your video was my next step and the first door now WORKS! Thank you for such a well made "how to video". Two items in you video were different for my 2005 F150: 1) The torque for mine was a T27. Trying the T25 first almost worked, but damaged the screw slots. 2) The screw behind the window switch was a 10mm. That was no big deal. Thanks again for a super guide. PS> what happened to your right thumb... noticed the band-aid. lol 😄 👍

[@hopfammedia]

Hi Chuck, thanks much for the detailed response. It is interesting to know that there were different screw/bolt sizes used in the manufacturing of these trucks. Re. thumb... always nicking something... I should wear gloves more often!

The wife and I just finished both doors. The first one was tedious, the second one was a breeze. Thanks for the video. It was a huge help

[@hopfammedia]

Fantastic! Thanks for posting!

[@BryanPinkston]

While the video is done well and seems to show how easy and successful using the aluminum grommets can be I had a whole other experience. If you don’t get the tension right in each place where the grommets go it’s not easy getting the grommets back out and making the adjustments to make them work. And my experience was it was almost impossible and I had to give up on this method. I ordered the replacement assembly for each door which runs around $60 for both of them and all you have to do is simply replace them. Easy, effective and no guesswork required with the process. And a lot less work and hassle. So if you want to do like this video shows be prepared as it may not go exactly as planned and there’s an easier but yes a little more costly way but it is worth it to me!

[@hopfammedia]

You're right, this is a good point! The metal replacement grommets & tension overall can be difficult to adjust. We have a video on this same Ext. cab Rear Door issue using the replacement assembly part you're talking about: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpzKlJ97iLqZes0

[@hopfammedia]

You are most welcome William, thanks for the encouragement!

[@dg8620]

Thank you this helped a bunch! Even after fiddling I couldn't get it to reliably open. Sometimes the hinge wouldn't engage. After poking about to understand how it all worked I figured out that there is a physical switch on the door jam. It puts the latch on either side of equilibrium. I.e. prevent the backdoor opening when the front is closed, but letting open when not. I prised this off and there was another of those adjustable tension clips. I set this to raise the rod up a couple of teeth, which fixed my problem. Hope that helps others.

[@hopfammedia]

Glad we were able to help, and that's great input. Thanks for adding to our community!

[@KrolisMedia]

I had to use the torch method on all the screws because they were all to tight, even for my drill. I ended up burning a little bit of the black sponge on the top, but I was able to get them all out after heating the head. Thanks to whoever it was that suggested this.

[@hopfammedia]

So glad you were able to loosen your screws, and thanks for watching!

This video is much better than others that I have watched. My only problem is, getting the cable into the the middle housing, You say just keep working it and it will snap in, well it hasn't yet. I've tried everything short of doing some filing on both pieces. I will give it another wack. Unfortunately, I stripped one of the torx head screws, now to figure out how to remove it. I also noticed that there was an edit to video when you were struggling with that center cable. I will keep trying and I will prevail! Great video, thanks!

For those reading, I did run in to one issue. Project Completed On: 2004 F-150 XLT Date: 7-20-2021 Parts: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N1G2QUT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Tools: As explained in the video Time: 40-45 minutes per door Issue: T25 bolts holding bottom latch stripped out. Resolution: Cut heads off screws using hacksaw. Pulled out latch. Heated bolts up using propane torch. Used vice grips to grab shank of cut bolts.Turned to loosen and remove (was super easy). Ran to Ace Hardware. Purchased M6-12mm 1/2" replacement screws. Fit perfectly. Other than that, it went pretty well. I am not a mechanic at all, but when I got a price quote of $375 per door to fix it, I was like "no freaking way!". Luckily I did a little research, found this video, and did it myself. It seriously is a very easy project and if I can do it, I promise you can too. FIX THOSE DOORS!

Both my rear doors broke last week on my 2004 F150. Ordered the 8 new pieces and installed them easily watching your video. My only problem is I couldn’t get my tension clip in the right spot so the doors would latch closed and then open easily. I finally put a rubber band under the tension clip and up to behind the clip above it. It makes it latch easily and then open perfectly. Hopefully it lasts. Thanks!

[@patrickford18]

I've done this a few times and its as good a video as I've seen. I would like to point out, a butane torch might be useful in removing the bottom Torx screws, because Ford uses a killer thread locker on them. You'll likely break your #27 Torx bit before breaking them lose. With a few seconds of heat from the torch, they come out easily and the thread locker stays in place for when you put them back in.

Thank you for the good advice Patrick, and thanks for watching!

I’ll try this. I couldn’t get my screws out and messed up a few of them. Idk what to do about it now.

@@KrolisMedia If you tried the t26 or t25 torx bit by mistake, you might have messed up the screw a little, but with a little torch heat and a t27 bit might still get them out.

[@sandramontes1042]

Nice to see a woman doing this… I’m going to order the parts and do mine this weekend 😊👍🏻

[@hopfammedia]

It's a family effort. Thanks for the encouragement! Hope you get it fixed soon!

[@marywilliams7063]

Thanks for the Video , you did a great job but i still had to watch it many many times, finally successful thanks again. Some of my screws got stripped and had alot of difficulty sliding replacement metal pieces on, didn't slide on as easy as yours. I have 2005 FX4. Now to fix my sunroof & find out why i have this shudder at times.I only have 104,000 miles on it. But thanks to you for a good job!!!!

[@hopfammedia]

Thanks Mary, glad we could help! Best wishes to you in your other repairs!

[@jerryhoward6782]

Just the video I needed. Thanks ! My truck door operates probably better than new.

[@hopfammedia]

Glad we could help, and thanks for watching!

[@linemanfx4]

Great video! The only things I did different is use a plastic trim tool to remove the panels and squeeze the plastic pieces with pliers. They're so bridle they just crumble. Keeps from accidently cutting the wire. Thanks again for making such a great video.

[@hopfammedia]

Nice! Plastic trim tools are a great option. Thanks for your encouragement and input!

[@Jay388]

Mine just broke today 🤬 Thanks for the video, it's a lifesaver!

[@hopfammedia]

Your welcome Jay! Glad to be a help.

[@FreyaTheMalingata]

Great video - thank you! Glad they made a critical component of the doors out of plastic and then engineered it in a way that you have to do the work from the back seat, inside the truck, with the doors closed. Top-notch engineering, eh? Must have hired the Harley-Davidson drop-outs. But the good news is: it's only 100ºF out today, so being stuck in the back seat of my truck having a heat stroke is going to be a party. Really though - great video, thank you! You'll probably cut the time I spend in the back seat of my truck in half and they may not have to send the corner out for me 🤙 I do have a way of turning EVERY project into a complete disaster though, so don't rule anything out!

[@hopfammedia]

Hilarious @FreyaTheMalibgata! Stay cool, thanks for posting.

[@robertpullen3224]

Thank you!!! I was able to do it after watching your video!

[@hopfammedia]

You are most welcome Robert! Thanks for the encouragement.

[@ChrisDavid_SimpleDuck]

Thank you very much for taking the time to create this video. It was a great tutorial and I truly appreciate it!

[@hopfammedia]

Thank you Christopher! We're glad we could help!

[@stevetrowell]

What do you call the four metal parts for fixing each door and where can they be ordered? Excellent video!

[@hopfammedia]

Hi Steve, there is a link in the video description. Click that link and it should take you to the parts you need.

[@PhatOne]

Awesome. I found videos that detailed a door with a manual window but obviously that gets me no where. My rear door is as you demonstrated so disassembly was a breeze once I saw this video. Thanks. Great Time Saver !!

[@hopfammedia]

We're glad to be of help, thanks for watching!

[@chrisknowles4773]

Thank you for this video; it was a great step-by-step aide. Will add that I have a 2004 f150 and a T27 fit screws better than a T25. Replaced on both doors and they are working fine.

[@hopfammedia]

Thanks for watching Chris, glad we could help!

[@bp7315]

I have a 2007 f150 Supercab and the T27 also fit better for me too.

[@oscarvaldez8201]

thanks for making my life easy.

[@hopfammedia]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@badboyjuni4429]

Thank you, I watched your video, ordered the kit you put a link to, and fixed my doors, it was really easy, hardest part for me was getting the new parts all the way to the last line on the upper cables. What I ended up doing was doing the one all the way on top while it was off the car and the one in the middle (that clips to the plastic yellow/white thing) was easier to push down all the way after I clipped it back on and bolted it. I got lucky and didn’t have to adjust any cables on my first try, I made sure to put the little rod that is in the yellow/white clip exactly how it was before I removed it, not sure if that helps or makes a difference. Thanks for the video

[@hopfammedia]

That is awesome! So glad we were able to help, and thanks for watching!

[@badboyjuni4429]

@@hopfammedia I forgot to mention, I used a dremel to sand down the area where the new metal pieces go because it had little ribs on it that made it a real big paint to slide all the way down to the line, thanks again for the video

[@marknissenjr5344]

I was wondering about that . Still having trouble with the bottom ones. I will try your technique of using the dremel tool to sand it. Thanks

[@dmann1209]

Excellent tutorial and information. My 06 driver's side rear door just took a dump on me a few weeks ago. Thanks!!!

[@hopfammedia]
