drbabbers Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 All, My boot trim (if that is the correct name for the part) had fallen off and requires replacing. Its been a bit of a nightmare... I did initally try some no nails, but that just got messy and it never dried properly. I have attached a couple of photos to show the current situation. Can anyone please recommend how I can get a new boot trim and also the clips that were attached underneath? They were all broken and snapped so I removed them and left the bolts only as pictured. Much appreciated thanks! :) Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Cant see it being too expensive for a brand new one from Fords. They are about £20 on eBay for a used one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Genuine-Ford-Focus-Chrome-Tailgate-Handle-2007-2011-1581833-/311736157533?hash=item4894ec455d:g:kfoAAOSwcLxYIHMc Thanks Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WES180 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I realised my error and deleted it but you had already replied. Is yours a facelift mk2.5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WES180 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 It might be a trip to a breakers yard then mate, there are plenty of mk2 2005-2008 on there but yours is the facelift mk2.5 2008-2010 and there arent any used ones on eBay that i can see. £200 is very steep for the new one so i would definitely try some breakers yards. Seems they are hard to get hold of as discussed here - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like this is the cheapest I can find online: https://www.fordpartsuk.com/shop/ford_focus_chromed_tailgate_handle_f_1581833.htm Can you please confirm this is the right part? Ill also try the breakers... Thanks D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few Ford Technicians on here and also others that have access to the parts computers so not entirely true. Just thought worth a mention. I would do as you suggested anyway and supply the VIN number to Ford Parts Online to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I did forget that they have ford part numbers shown there so some one is able to help here too. I have been helped by their sales department many times and they are really handy and helpful. Plus you do not have to wait when some one replys here but you get the help in real time. However they do not have all parts listed and and they have put up new listings that are matched via VIN code just for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbabbers Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 All, Here is my VIN. I have tried this on http://www.fordparts.com/ and it says it's an invalid VIN? Any ideas? Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjt Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 The reason is that's an American site and doesn't recognise European VINs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Contact the site you posted up, they will be able to confirm its correct for you. http://www.fordpartsuk.com/shop/ford_focus_chromed_tailgate_handle_f_1581833.htm Cheaper here on eBay by the time you add VAT and delivery. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331797874827 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
