Peterjones Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I am sure someone else will have had this issue and know the fix so asking for advice. The clip that keeps the pop up arm rest / storage compartment in the Fiesta has appeared to have lost its springyness -so no longer automatically closes when I push it down. I am assuming this is a clip issue and hoping that the clip can be replaced? Anyone else come across this and know what parts are needed to make the repair?

Peterjones Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Well I have taken this to pieces and I can now see the issue. However does anyone know if you can purchase a new metal spring? I have been searching the internet and I dont seem to be able to find anything, but maybe I am using the wrong terms?

WES180 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Has it snapped or just lost its sprung tension? Its hard to tell from your pics.🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterjones Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Snapped off! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 It might be worth removing the other part and then take a pic of it put together to show what it looks like. Someone might be able to suggest an alternative that would work if an original is not available. I would also pop into your local Ford dealership parts department to see if it's available as a buy alone item. I'm in work but I've just nipped out to my mk3 Focus and from what I can see through the gap (not got a torx bit here) it looks like mine might be the same. You could probably find one in a breakers yard if that's the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Is it like this? This is a screenshot from a video on YouTube of a Fiesta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterjones Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Cant seem to find anyone selling that part online - but then maybe I am not searching for the correct term. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I've tried for you too, I like a challenge but still came up with nothing. Take the clip or your phone to show the part to your local Ford parts department person.🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterjones Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Called the dealer...guess what...It's sold as an arm rest apparently and that is a very expensive part! So the clip is going to be a pain to get hold of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Try a breakers yard or scrap yard. If I get chance I will open up my Focus arm rest as I think it's the same. That would give you more options then rather than solely looking for a Fiesta one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
