How to Remove and Replace the Tailgate Panel on a Ford Focus

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011

This short video shows you how to remove (and possibly replace) the rear tailgate panel of your Ford Focus. This task may be useful, for example, if you need to disassemble and change the release mechanism for the tailgate in your car. First, using an appropriate tool, unscrew all the screws that hold the panel to the tailgate. Next, detach the panel from the structure by gently prying with a flat, thin tool. Once you have completed the internal work or replaced the old panel with a new one, reassemble everything by following the reverse process. Job done!
