Today we will explain how to remove the door panel of a 2015 Ford Focus car in less than 10 minutes. To perform this operation, we must first open the door in question and insert a plastic lifting tool into the small slot on the outside of the door.

Remove the tail light and using the plastic removal tool, release the handle and lift the window switch panel. Using a 25mm Torx key, remove the screws behind the handle.

Remove the door handle by lifting the cover and unscrewing the screw. Remove the lower and side screws and then release the panel.

The panel installation follows the reverse procedure.
