bezzawezza Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Hi all, the rubber grip of the handbrake lever on my Focus MK2.5 has started to wear and peel from use. What's the easiest/best/cheapest way to rectify this or stop it from getting worse? I can't see how it would even come off in honesty.

Stoney871 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 There are small lugs inside the grip that latch into cut-outs on the lever itself. Ford sell the chrome grip and the instructions with it recommend cutting the old one off with a stanley knife then knocking the new one on with a hammer and block of wood against the button end.

bezzawezza Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Thanks guys, that's helpful. I was more concerned with whether it was fixable which it sounds like it is. It's not too bad at the moment so I'll probably wait until it gets worse and give Ford a call, if I ask nicely maybe they'll fit it for me too. I don't suppose you have any idea what they charge for the grip do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Another option if you just want a cosmetic fix- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261372493679 Sent from my SM-G930F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
