In this video, we are going to show you how to replace a rear outside door handle on this 2003 Ford Focus. We show you the driver's side, but the passenger's side is pretty much the same procedure. The only tools you'll need include a small flat blade screw driver and a T20 Torx driver.
First, take a small screw driver. Right back in behind the door handle there is a little round trim button. Pull that out and then here go in behind here pry that out, and bring that out and down. Now, there are T20 Torx screws, two on the back. There are two down low, and two on the front as well as on in behind here. 6 1/2mm bolts in there. You can use a 6 1/2mm socket, or a 1/4 inch socket. Speed it up here as I use a T20 Torx bit and remove the six screws around the edge of the door panel and the one in behind your door handle.
Take this off. Right back here, there's this little tab. You may need to use your little screw driver. Press the tab down and disconnect. This panel comes out. Put your screwdriver under there and pry it out. Work your fingers underneath. Unclip it. I'm just going to fast-forward as I remove those two 1/4 inch or 6 1/2mm bolts. Now, lift your panel, pull the bottom out, and lift it up and off the window ledge. Pull your water shield down. Pull off this plug here as well.
If you look right in here, all the way back in let's see if we can show it to you here. There's a T20 screw right back in here. Now, from the outside, pull the handle out a little bit, get a screw driver in there, pry this piece out like that, pull your handle back out and off, and take these pads off.
Insulation of the new handle, you got your same, snap your pads right into place. Put the nose of the handle in first, and put the back of the handle in. Slide it forward, then put this piece on. Snap it down. Sometimes it doesn't snap down quite fully. Once you put the screw in it will snap into place all the way.
Now, moving onto my bit. Right here, put that rubber plug back in place. Reinstall, push it up and onto the window seal. .And I'm just going to fast-forward. All I'm doing right now is putting on the screws that go on the perimeter and the door handle. Those are the T20 screws, putting those in and tightening them up. And last but not least, make sure you put that triangle trim back in place, get it in place. Push it firmly, and it snaps in.
