How do you remove the door panel of a Ford Focus? Don’t worry, follow these steps. Before starting the disassembly, disconnect the battery terminals located in the engine bay. Remove the handle cover, then use a screwdriver to unscrew the internal door handle (remove the screws located in the handle).

Also unscrew the internal door opening lever (if screws are present). Detach the door panel, disconnect the window regulator connectors and the lever cable.

Ensure you don’t lose any of the clips behind the plastic panel that was removed first. Replace the part and reassemble everything.
