I just took the rubber gromet off the door and bent the hose of an oil penetration spray can and sprayed in there. Worked like a charm didnt take anything else apart.

Remove the little round grommet- squirt WD40 down thru the hole onto the hinge..work the handle a bit after setting some and poof done without tearing door apart Just did my front passenger side door that way and it now works fine. I have a 05 F350 crew...

Thank you. my doors have been getting stuck shut. my fatass had to climb through the back window in front of everyone in a parking lot lol

haha. best comment.

Oh my goodness. My kids have been crawling over the seat for two years. Thank you for this video.

Thank you very much, excellent info. It took me around 1 min! to open my locked rear door THANKS TO YOUR instructions. Also Thanks for showing removed door handle. It showed geometry of the handle inside of the door. It allowed me to lubricate all mechanisms without removing the handle(s) from the doors. I did preventive lubrication thru the round hole in the door.

Great fix it video well produced and concise. Took all of 40 minutes start to finish, Thanks

Use fluid film on that spring loaded mechanism, it will never stick again

Thanks man! You saved my bacon. 3 of the 4 doors on my crew cab were doing this. One of the back doors has been stuck closed and locked for years. With your video I was able to get the back doors open and working again by simply removing the ugly and spraying in some liquid wrench and working the lever back and forth using a 3/8 hex key to move the lever all the way home. Passenger front door handle is better but still sticky. I'll have to remove it to see if I can get it working or if it will need replaced. Either way, this video saved me a ton of guessing and checking, lots of frustration, a few busted knuckles, and quite a bit of work. Really appreciate it!

Scratch that period by the end of the day that passed her side door was working also :)

Thank you so much for this video. I could not find the answer anywhere else. My rear door now works easily and flawlessly. Thanks again.

Fantastic "how to fix it" video. Now I can fix my 2001 350 using this video. Thanks so much. This will save me at least $400-500 at the dealer's service department.

Excellent video, winter came so I put it off. After I got the door opened ( your way, thank you ) I pulled off the grommet and saw what needed some w-D40. 2008 f350. I actually thought about drilling a hole in the edge of of the door until I opened the door and saw the grommet. Very easy job, great video. Thanks again.

Undoing and relatching that little green clip was a pain, but I got everything back together and it works. Thanks for the video.

Thank you so very much sir...I had the issue of the doors not unlocking and your video helped me. Hope all's well, ☺️👍

Thanks. Right rear door is not operating from the outside. This info is going to fix it. Good content!

Great video. Clear, concise, and no bullshit.

Thanks my man I got the same problem and all I find was extended cab videos in till I come across yours highly appreciate it 👍

Great explanation, I am going to try to fix my 2008 f-250 tomorrow. Today I discovered that my driver side back door is stack closed. 👍👍👍

I was about to unscrew the hinges and get a screwdriver to it. Thanks for the info! Ill give it a shot.

Thank you sir. You’re a lifesaver.

Great instructional video! A couple of times I was driving not realizing that my latch didn't connect on the drivers side, and when I took a corner my door flew open....scary feeling! Thanks for the upload!!

Super helpful! Trying it out in the morning!

Thank-you sir. Appreciated from Ottawa Valley Canada

Very helpful! Thank you for making this video !

Thanks for your video my back has been that way for a year works great now lol

Thanks for the tip, took about 15 min and some wd40 sprayed in and wala it opened. I love you tube

Thank you for the video- it really helped us out

Excellent video!!! Thx.

Excellent instructions! Got me out of a big jam

Fantastic video,,,,, thank you very much…….

WTF. This is my favorite video on you tube.

I remember my folks owning several dodge cars in the 1970 that would freeze up in winter after a trip to the car wash, and would almost latch but not close, just bounce back like in your intro! Great fix! Ivan would be proud! No parts needed!

I have an f450 1999. Couldn’t get the panel off. Clips are to tight. Also I have a manual knob for the window. Did that make a difference do you think?

@@debspeakes9750 Deb, were you able to get the manual window crank off? There is a special tool to remove the handle. One everything is removed, the door panel has to be pushed up first about 2 inches, then it should come off. (if I remember correctly) The door panel is not held on with clips. It has fingers that are on 45 degree angles that that are part of the door panel that fall into a slot. If you pause this video as the panel is coming off, you can see them.

Thank you!!! My ‘08 F150 has this exact problem!!!

Wow that was easy. Thanks a million. I was about to start mule kicking the door till it opened

thankyou for sharing this video/ easy as pie saved lots of time

Do i need to get driver door aligned after replacing the door. 2003 f350 superduty

I doubt this will get noticed but here’s a shot. Any thoughts on my case in particular? The rear passenger door is locked and won’t unlock. The assembly will move so it’s not the issue in the video here. I’ve disassembled the door panel while the door is shut and I can see with a flashlight that the assembly moves just fine. But moving the interior and exterior handles, the door doesn’t unlatch. Is there any way I can unlock my back door without opening it? Update: It opens now. But won’t close. Again the rod moves, the actuator works fine but the door latch doesn’t catch correctly. I’m pretty sure I need to replace the latch at this point

Really good thank you so much that was pretty good

Thank you, you are very helpfull

Good info thanks!

Great video. How about doing a child safety lock fix? I can’t find not one video for this problem. Thanx again

Thank you!

I would’ve put a dab of grease on that spring piece to keep it lubricated.

my kids have been a scooting in from the passenger rear for a year now. thx. and that truck looks an awful lot like mine - crumpled truckbed, flitlhy interior with cat litter ;)

Blessings

Couldn’t you do this without disassemble?

If you take off the grommet above the latch you can spray wd40 onto the spring. Use a flashlight to see what you’re doing. Keep the window up for a few days until all the oil dries.

That is a correct way to get it open BUT...nonreason to take the door panel apart at all Remove that rubber plug and That actuator arm is right there... Just use a screwdriver to work and back n forth few times as you spray a lubricant right below that arm on the actuator..BAM,,,fixed I don't use WD40 for anything,it is really just a water displacement,not a lube I use either Kroil or a mix a 50/50 acetone/transmission fluid..nothing beats them..nothing

My driver door wont shut like this but my door handle is fine it makes no sense

1999 to 2016? Jeez!
