bucky919 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Anyone try and remove the front door panels on there 2013 yet? I removed the two bolts on the bottom, the two by the handle and the one up by the latch, but the door panel didn't seem to want to come off, idk if im missing a bolt or just didn't pull hard enough up on the panel.

bluspikez Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) It looks like there are also some clips/pushpins holding the panel on, but those bolts/screws you mentioned should be the only threaded fasteners. Once those bolts/screws are out I believe you need to pull the panel off normal/perpendicular to the door, not up, and naturally once the panel is free you'll need to disconnect some wires and the door handle lever. I'd imagine the clips and possibly some sealant are the culprits for holding the panel in place. Edited April 5, 2013 by bluspikez 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmmfloorpie Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Yes this is an old topic, but I'm needing some guidance on how the door panels get removed. I've found the two at the bottom of the door, but are the ones by the handle/latch hidden in some manner? Can't seem to find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay072 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 There is a 10mm bolt behind a small plastic panel directly behind the door handle, also are 2 6mm bolts under the bezel that has the power windows and mirror switch's (piano black piece has to be lifted/popped out) the rest are push pin clips... This is a great little set for taking interior pieces off for $8.00... http://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/5-pc-trim-remover-set/A-p8309411e Also, this is a handy PDF posted by another member I stumbled onto... http://www.blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_id=13768 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have a pair of nylon pry tools from my previous car. They aren't quite as fancy as those but they do the job and don't scratch. Thanks a lot for the PDF. Now I just have to stress about damaging the gloss black trim pieces lol. I don't suppose you found the separate PDF for removal of the window switch control?

jay072 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I don't suppose you found the separate PDF for removal of the window switch control? The way I found to remove that was to get a decent grip with your finger tips on it in the door pull area and it just pops straight up...there is a small wire harness connector that unplugs.

mmmfloorpie Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Also, the trim piece under the steering wheel... Is that just something that pulls off? I'm also trying to get some ideas as to where to access a wire for the interior lighting. I want to add some footwell lights and would like to tap into the lights that open with the doors. Anyone know where such a wire might be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Michaels Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I just took off the door panels on my 2014 Fusion Titanium. I was snapping pictures during the process and wrote up a little DIY guide hosted on my travel site. I hope you guys find it to be useful. http://www.paulstravelpictures.com/2013-2016-Ford-Fusion-Interior-Door-Panel-Removal-Guide/index.html Cheers, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
