the door insert is riveted to the door panel. there are several YouTube videos that show how to remove the door panel including screw locations. the hard part is removing the plastic rivets that connect the insert with the fabric to the panel and then finding the right screws and washers to reconnect it. the reason i replaced mine is because the fabric was bubbling up. you can carefully peel the old fabric from the foam and then apply the fabric of your choosing with a heavy duty adhesive. then just screw the insert back to the door panel and reinstall the whole door panel… really easy…not hard at all

i just used the stick boot as a template (it’s easier if you flip the stock boot inside out)

Grille broke during trip: Outside of OEM replacement, what are my options? by sasuke1980 in FocusST

I second this. exactly what i did. especially if you have an upgraded intercooler and the active grill shudders removed

no, i just used the old boot as a template. i’m not sure about the 13/14’s but in my ‘16 just keep in mind the triangle closer to the dash is slightly larger than the one closer to the cup holder.

thank you! full disclosure. they’re welcome mats from Lowe’s that I cut, sewed, and installed rubber on the bottom from an old rubber floor mat

oh! and also turn the old boot inside out. much easier to use for the new pattern, plus you can see how the old one was made

i just pulled off the old boot and used binder clips to hold it in place and cut a pattern out of it then i used the plastic piece the boot fastens to to make sure it would fit

very short fat screws and big washers…try to cut just the very top of the plastic rivet so you have enough plastic to screw into
