Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Door panel
Operation: Door panel disassembly and assembly guide

This video describes the steps to remove and install the interior door panel for operations ranging from replacing speakers to simple maintenance of the window lifter. The tools required are a torx screwdriver, size T-20 and a flat-blade screwdriver. The first operation is to identify the torx screw or screws present, one behind the handle, eight along the perimeter of the panel and two, hidden, under the finished part of the handle which is interlocking, just pry with the slotted screwdriver in the point shown in the video. When you have finished unscrewing all the screws, starting from those in the center of the panel, remove with the connector located behind the window lifter controls. At this point, lift the lower part of the panel and remove it, finally pulling upwards, disassemble the door opening handle and disconnect the opening cable. To assemble the panel, simply reinsert it, from top to bottom, being careful to make the glass seal fit together, tighten all the screws, first those on the outer perimeter, and finally reconnect the handle and the glass lifting controls. Here it is a focus from 2002 3-door but the procedure, in general, is valid for all cars.

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.
