Removing the Centre Dashboard on a Ford Focus

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Air vents

As shown in the video, use a small flathead screwdriver to remove the plastic beneath the radio control panel. You can now unscrew the two Torx T20 screws present here. Done! Those were the only two screws holding the centre dashboard in place, to which the air vents are also attached. While extracting it, remember to disconnect the rear connector related to the control panel. For reassembly, simply proceed in reverse. As you can see, this is a very simple operation, accessible even to the less experienced.
