Hi all, new member here. Tried another Fiesta forum and had no help there so trying here in more hope.

I've had a problem with the heated rear screen button sticking in when using it. I can pop it back out with a screwdriver but its getting rather annoying doing this all the time. From what I have read this problem is known but my warranty is finished (and i'm not on good terms with the local Ford dealer anyway).

Is there a way to remove the front fascia so i can get to the bottons and try and fix the problem myself? I've had the car about 2 years and the problem has only just started.

Thanks in advance.

This is a cold-weather problem. I bought my new Fiesta Zetec Climate in Sept. '08, and went back within a month with this problem (just a quick bit of light sanding of the square aperture in the panel:-- 10 minutes.), plus I had notchy gear-changes. I only cured the g'box last summer by filling the 'box with the correct grade of fully synthetic Castrol SMX-S, 75/85 grade, GL3/4, as currently available from Opieoils. The stuff that came out was obviously different, like the Motul Technosynthese semi-synthetic oil.

I would take this job to a small workshop, as I did with my front callipers when they needed fettling, at 1 year old.

thanks for the info. But how do i get into the buttons? do they pop out or do i have to take off the whole fascia and would this mean removing the radio?

Just a part panel to come off. Get the Haynes manual, if you really want to tackle it yourself. There is now a manual for the Mk 6.5. I only got an older manual.
