‘24 Raptor R door misalignment

[GR8RAP]

Thank you gang! Very kind. I’ll keep you in the loop. The fleet manager at the dealership called today to tell me he’ll personally pick up the truck and get the alignment completed next week. He also suggested I go over the entire truck closely and photograph any other deficiencies and he’ll get them resolved ASAP. Will be spending tomorrow crawling all over the beast. I already checked the shocks for any oxidation and all clear. Luckily the Raptor was built in August so no salt issues in Michigan. BTW there’s an absolutely fantastic clear spray you can apply to all metals and electrical components that provides unbelievable protection. It’s called Nyalic and was made specifically for NASA’s rockets years ago (Nyalic.com). I use it on my bare aluminum boats that I use in salt water and they still look great with no oxidation now going on five years. I really recommend this product. It’s also great to protects electrical connections in engine bays and underneath, especially for off road vehicles. I’m going to spray my Raptor R tomorrow as I do the inspection. On another bit of news the fleet manager told me there will be no more significant changes to the Raptor R, except for the addition of some colours, till the 2028 model year, as the 2024 was considered a mid-cycle refresh. That means limited depreciation for the next three years! Hooray!

Same door issue here with my 24. The dealership fixed it right away.

Same problem. Body shop tried but it’s still not quite straight.

The body shop fixed the alignment, more or less. They had to “cheat” all the other gaps around the door to achieve the best result. I’m the only one who’ll notice, however. Alaska150 maybe try another body shop as maybe it still can be aligned better?

Yeesh. Front door to fender gap is huge compared to back door to rear of cab gap.

At least the top of the doors line up when you look in your side mirror.

Front door to fender gap not so bad if compared to the passenger side (which didn’t need any alignment). Been looking at other Ford trucks. Seems like that particular gap is intentionally a bit larger than the others for proper door clearance when opening the door?
