i have one and i fixed that problem ill tell you how right now, remove the
rorque screw, behind the door handle, the plastic pannel broke free from
the screw, put a washer big enough to cover the whole put the screw back in
and BAM!! problem solved…
I haven’t tried to fix it yet. I will probably just let a ford dealer fix
it. The door is easy to take apart but I just don’t want to deal with it if
its not an easy fix.
ok, it’s a terrible design, that’s the bottom line, but the fix I found to
work was removing the door panel and adding a screw into where there should
be a screw in the first place. If you take it off you’ll see what I mean,
but there is a molding injection point where that lower left corner comes
off. Use a drill to make a larger pilot hole at that point and put in the
appropriate screw.
Thanks! I am so used to it now that I haven’t had a problem. But I do want
to fix it. I will try what you did this summer. Sounds like a super easy
fix.

spainard316 just commented with a fix.
The fix listed works great!! It is obvious the door was designed for screws
but Ford cheaped out and cut corners.

I have the same problem on the same exact vehicle (but silver), Was the
Ford dealer able to fix it for you? If so, how much did it run? Thanks.
CLOSER TO A PROPER FIX. . .WE HOPE MIKE
you can buy a used door panel on ebay.
