How to Remove the Door of a Focus?
2 Answers
Ford Focus door removal steps are as follows: 1. Open the door, locate the interior door handle, remove the small cover inside the interior door handle, and unscrew the T25 screw inside the cover. 2. Locate the window regulator switch, use a screwdriver to gently pry out the window regulator switch from the rear, then disconnect the switch connector. 3. After removing the window regulator switch, there are two screws inside; use a T25 screwdriver to remove them. 4. There are a total of 3 screws. After removing them, insert the screwdriver between the door panel and the door, and gently pry outward to release the clips of the door panel. 5. Once all clips are released, pull the door panel outward, disconnect the interior handle cable, and the door panel removal is complete.
I've also done the job of removing a Focus door panel. You need to start with the interior trim panel. First, unscrew the window control panel screws, then use a plastic pry tool to gently release the clips of the trim panel. Remember to disconnect the wiring harness plugs for the power windows and door locks—don't yank them. Next, remove the mirror triangle cover, and the entire door panel can come off. Only after removing it did I realize there was quite a bit of soundproofing foam inside. The key point is to be extra careful with the door panel clips—they break easily, so it's best to have a few spare clips ready. Also, handle the door lock cable and exterior handle cable with care; if they break, you'll need replacements. If you're doing it yourself, wearing gloves is a good idea—the edges of the door panel can be quite sharp.
