Does anyone else have door rubbing when driving?

[Whistler]

Mine is doing the same thing with only 1000 miles on it. When I drive it down dirt or gravel roads is when the noise/chatter is evident from the upper drivers door frame.

I thought about adjusting the door striker in to tighten it up, but don’t want to misalign the exterior, this one is currently perfect. My last Lariat that I traded in on this Lightning was atrocious in regards to panel alignment and it always bugged me.

I’m going to try to shim out the weatherstripping a little up too and see what happens.

I’ll be interested to see your outcome - my door is also perfectly aligned and I don’t want to undo that if I don’t have to, but I will given that I live in a rural area and I’m constantly on rough roads.

Adjusting the door hinge changed the panel alignment by an imperceptible amount. You would need a ruler to see errors in the alignment before or after.

Thank you! This weather strip itch noise has been driving me crazy for 8 months. Right in my ear from the top of the driver side door. Took me 30 seconds to fix.
