Rear Door Leaking Water

[fredobandito]

Have any of you had a problem with rain leaking in the back door of your 4-dooor SuperCabs?

My passenger side door has a constant trickle of water running down it in hard rains (which we've been getting a lot of here lately in Atlanta). I've tried siliconeing the mess out of it on the cab seal and the channel running down the door, but with no luck.

I was reading about the issue on another Ranger forum, and the Ford technical bulletin said to "adjust" the door striker with a rubber mallet. Apparently it has to do with the door becoming misaligned with the latch and not closing properly.

Mark to location of the door striker with a ink pen, then loosen the torx bolts a little and tap the striker in with a mallet. Tighten the torx bolts and test for leaks.
