Brought to you by 1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. In this video, we are going to show you how to replace the outside door handle on this 2002 Focus, same as any 2000 or 2007 front door. Tools you'll need are a T20 Torx driver and a flat-blade screw driver.
To remove your door panel, you need to remove a series of T20 Torx screws. There's usually a little door on here, you would pry it out of the way in that little space and there's one screw. There are couple on the front here, one there and one further down and then there's four on the bottom and one there, two on the back there and there, and then you also pry off this panel here carefully from underneath. There's two quarter-inch bolts there and there. First, you remove this one. Then you use a screwdriver and carefully pry out here and reach in here and pry. Pull this panel out. There's a power window, if you look right here, you'll see a little tab, press on that tab, and disconnect that harness, pull this out. On here, there's a little tab right here, press, pull that out. This panel right here, just grab hold of it, pull it out, back and away. Now, I'm going to remove the two quarter-inch and all the T20 Torx screws. We're going to fast forward quite a bit through doing all that because it's pretty monotonous and you don't need to see me struggling with them, not that they're a struggle, but just don't want to bore you too much.
Once you have all those screws out, it helps to have the window down but it's not necessary, pull the door panel out, up and off the window seal here and the door panel is off. I'm going to pry off the inside door handle, it just makes it easier to get the door panel back on. Now, I'm going to carefully ... I'm going to pull this foam insulator out. It's just clipped on to a bunch of clips on the door and I'm going to carefully pull back the water shield and insulation from the door. To remove your exterior door handle, you want to remove this, pull off this plug and that exposes a T20 Torx screw right in there, remove that. Now, we're are going to fast forward through removing that bolt. It's along screw and once you've done that, just use a screwdriver, lightly pry right on that piece there and then your door handle slides back and then right out, like that. Obviously, to reinstall it, put the front in, push it in and forward. This has a tab on it that goes in to the door first and then on and then reinstall the T20 screw. Put our plug back on.
Just fast forward through putting that water shield back on and the big foam insulator that clips back on. Now, we take our door panel and make sure this little wire comes through there, the power steering part is there, lift this panel up and make sure our door handle wire goes there, on, and now, we can put on our T20 screw. Again, like before, we will fast forward through putting all those screws in. This can go back on, make sure you hook it on to the sail panel here first. There's a little slot right here that the handle goes into, make sure we get this out of the way, make sure the handle goes in, and it snaps in there. Now we could reinstall this panel, connect it to the power switch and connect the lock switch. Now, like that. Make sure this back part snaps in, snap the front part in and last, screw. Last but not least, put the top part up in first and it snaps back together and all set.

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.
