Front Door and Front Door Latch Sealing Procedure
IMPORTANT! There are two different front door foam kits available for the F-150 vehicles. One kit comes
with short (65mm funnel wings) door glass funnels (built before December 2016), and the other kit comes
with long (157mm funnel wings) door glass funnels (built December 2016 or later). Funnel usage is
based on vehicle build date and the length of the door glass run installed. Only one front door foam kit is
available for the F-250-F-550 vehicles and the kit contains long (157mm funnel wings) door glass funnels.
Refer to Attachment V for additional information.
NOTE: Procedure to be performed on both front doors.
