This guy is awesome! Thank you for posting this video. I was skeptical about it at first but decided to try it. I used 3 white zip ties. The trick is to not pull them too tight. This worked great on my 2005 ford f-150 XLT
Yea man just decided to tear off the door cover and found broken pieces of white and black plastic falling out. So yea bad design for these door latches, the latch itself is tough and all metal. Ford cheaper out on the cable clips mine broke after about 10 years old. Going to try the cable ties or might make a metal insert for the cable ends with a clamp. Thanks for video!
@@TheJoejoe7716 ...DONE!!! Easy fix, thanks! I found that if i tightened zip ties too tight, it wouldn't work. Kind of a sweet spot there. Anyhow, thanks for video brother. I wasn't about to pay 200 bucks from ford or wait a few days for Amazon parts. O.C.D. i guess 😆
You can get aluminum cable end clips for less than $20 on Amazon to permanently fix this problem. Search F150 rear door latch. www.amazon.com/dp/B00WOY33EA/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?psc=1
anyone doing this job, my last bottom screw rounded out. So frustrating. Make sure you crack loose all the black round torx head bolts first [as I'm not doing with all future projects] that way you know you can get them loosened off before you strip or round off the torx bit. Think I realized why the last bolt always gets stripped, bc the materials to make the tools and the nuts n bolts suck, so the tools get worn and it's just enough that the cheap soft material is the nuts n bolts round off too. Hence, there's not a fkn problem. So aggravating. They should just make stuff right instead of skimpin. Cheap bastards. Trying for extreme profits effects other people's productivity. Does your bottom latch function properly?
Nice!! Just did mine. Def worked!! Took me a couple zip ties to get the tension rite, but it definitely worked!! Thanks!!!

Jason B sweet! That's definitely a more permanent fix!
Will try, both doors stuck shut.
You will have to take the door panel off from the inside.....
a few screwdrivers and a six pack should do the trick
