Ford Focus Door Panel Removal 2012
Ford Focus Door Handle Assembly
Focus Door Handle Repair
Ever since I got my Focus (a 2006 Ghia model bought second hand) it`s had an annoying rattle coming from the drivers door, I think it`s the trim panel because if you push your elbow against the panel the noise disappears. Has anyone had this and managed to cure it?Also has anyone got any hints as to door panel removal? I`m a bit dubious about doing it after my experience with my wife`s Fiesta.

It had stupid (totally unnecessary) hidden door panel fixings and a mate of mine warned me that if you weren`t careful it`s easy to break them when taking off the panel. Incidentally my previous car, a 1997 Ford Escort didn`t have any of those ridiculous hidden fixings (why do you even need them when the panel can be screwed in place at the bottom where you can`t even see the screw head!
) and I could get the door panel off, change he mirror and replace the door panel in less than 15 minutes. Yes, I had had a bit of practice with all the damaged mirrors, I`d got a paper sketch showing exactly what to do and which tools you needed to do it!
I bought a set of spare clips before I tried removing my door panels but have hardly used any of them - they're not the weakest part of the door fixing system by a long way.In my experience either the clip disengages from it's holder on the doorpad and stays in the door panel, or it breaks the holder off the doorpad. These are heat-staked in place, I've often plastic welded these back on but gave up this time and drilled some holes through the housing so I could wrap cable ties round the whole retainer.Didn't get any photos of my latest repair, if the pad does have to come off again I'll try to remember taking some.
