JackD_117 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Hi all, I have a 2013 Fiesta Zetec and I'm trying.to.remove the chrome trim from the boot lid above the number plate. I'm really struggling with it, if anyone has done it before or knows how to do it can you help me please? Pictures would be great. Thanks!

Guest Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 You need to remove the plastic panel inside the boot, from there its just a case of some bolts and it will come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Take of the inner panel to get to the bolts. Loosen of the bolts holding the wiper motor and then remove 4 bolts (I think) holding the panel on. Once removed the chrome part unclipped (I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackD_117 Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Thanks for the replies guys, got it off and had a go at wrapping, I'd call it a success! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loosen of the bolts holding the wiper motor and then remove 4 bolts (I think) holding the panel on. Once removed the chrome part unclipped (I think) 6 bolts ;) I changed the whole piece, as I managed to find a colour-coded version on eBay (after searching for 6 months). Paid £30 for it.

JackD_117 Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Instead of going colour coded I had some spare carbon fibre wrap lying around so tried that, I think it looks alright to be honest :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neb_engineer Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 i know this is an old topic now, but am i right in thinking that it was only the post 2013 (2014-) mk7.5 that got rid off the boot chrome trim in favour of painted trim on the boot lid?

They're all painted apart from the ones fitted to black or silver cars (with exception to the ST & maybe a couple others, which are painted regardless of body colour).

I've just seen a blue and white one with a chrome piece at the back, both completely different trim levels and years too. Perhaps it was part of an optional extra pack?

Neb_engineer Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 honestly no idea, as a i say i have no idea what my trim level is as its not stated on the rear, although my car does have factory parking sensors fitted (although i doubt that makes a difference) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Do you have factory privacy glass? Might have been part of an 'appearance pack'. The chrome trim was fairly uncommon on the Mk2.5 Focus as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobr Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 That made me think so I had to go out and have a look. 😄 Mines 2017 grey and painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
