Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Door panel
Operation: Removing the door panel on Ford Focus mk1

Using a small flathead screwdriver, remove the small screw cover located behind the opening handle and unscrew the screw underneath. At this point unscrew all the screws located in the side area and under the panel. Remove the protection of the central handle with a plastic wedge and, again, unscrew the screws below. The next step consists in disassembling the tall plastic placed next to the window and on which the switch that adjusts the mirror is mounted (disconnect the connector). Now you can take the panel out of the door and disconnect the cables.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
