How to Remove the Centre Console from a Ford Focus

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Center console tunnel

In this video, we will see how to remove the centre console from a Ford Focus. Use a plastic lever to pry off the cover located at the bottom of the centre console (on both sides), and remove the leather gaiter from the gear lever. After removing the plastic cover, use a socket spanner to unscrew the securing bolts located at the rear of the centre console. Once this is done, pull the centre console out of the cabin (disconnect the power cables). Finally, insert the new piece into the centre console area and reassemble all the components of the glove compartment as they were removed.
