In this tutorial, you will see how to remove the internal grab handle (the one on the ceiling) of a Ford Focus from 1998 to 2004. Get inside the vehicle and remove the handle in question: to do this, you need a lever (preferably plastic to avoid damaging the interior parts of the vehicle; a screwdriver will also work) and unclip the openings of the handle on the right and left.

At the same time, pull towards yourself to extract it: this type of handle does not have screws, so once removed, simply reattach it.
