Passenger Front Door Not Closing -Window Down works

[BroncoA512021]

This is a door closing issue not window rolling up, it rolls up fine, it just will not close without a hard slam when it’s more than 1/4 way up.

I had the “window” issue on back passenger door and was able to fix that, I know how it happened. I continually was thinking I was rolling up drivers when it was the passenger And got it out of sync.

Anyone that has a door closing issue without a hard slam, should try with the window all the way down and see if it closes normally.

Tighten the door bolts.

YES

Well, I finally got around to adjusting the window angle, and unfortunately it didn't help with the door. If you find a fix for this please let me know

I talked to one of the service managers at Galpin, I am going to go in and give it a shot and see what they come up with.

The door latch mechanism may need adjustment. This is a component that holds the door closed. If it's misaligned or not engaging properly, it can cause difficulty in closing.

That’s odd. Most people slam my door too hard. All it needs is this.

Go to another dealer. You have a new vehicle not a 20 year old jalopy, you paid for a warranty whether you realize it or not.

I'm having this exact same issue with my passenger door. Any luck with the dealer?

Were they able to fix it for you? If so, do you know what the fix was?

I was about to try the window tilt adjustment method you mentioned earlier in this thread as i am/was 99% sure this is what im experiencing. Door is harder to close and appears like the window is touching the seal earlier than the door that closes easily. You said the tilt adjustment didnt fix it, did you ever find a way to resolve it?

I never found a way to fix it aside from bringing the latch on the body further out, but it caused the door to not sit as flush when fully closed, so I moved it back.

I was going to try loading up the inside of the door with some sound deadening sheets in an effort to increase the weight so that it has a bit more momentum, but I haven't gotten around to that yet. I have a good feeling it'll help, though
