Ford focus Mk1 rear door replacement?

diz79

Does anyone have or know where I can find how easy it is to take off mk 1 focus rear door. I imagine the bolts are pretty easy its just the electric compartment im worried about, ive tried you tube and some forums but cant find anything.
Thanks in advance

Electrics are easy, undo the plug and plug it back into the new door.

Is it easy though with the bolts is there many?

Pull rubber cable cover out of pillar and there is a plug. 5 bolts is all that is holding it on, 2 on each hinge and one on the restrainer.

Its easy if you have the tools.

Are they standard bolts or torx style? Do you have an impact wrench just in case one of the fixings is seized?

Do you have a small stand to support the weight of the door whilst removing it and to support the new door whilst refitting?

I dont have all of this but can probably borrow off someone, is it definitely just five bolts? Does anyone have any images?

never replaced a focus door, but have many other cars. One of the easiest jobs to do. Couple of bolts on the hinges, electrics are normally just a plug. Just get a mate to help you hold it as you undo the bolts and when you do them up fitting it. Also be mindful on buying the same door, not just colour, but electric/manual windows.
