Ford Focus Carpet Replacement

Recently I chopped up the carpet in my Focus so I could find a water leak. Turned out it was a dodgy windscreen seal, typical! So, I went to a scrapyard and bought a none-chopped carpet. As you can see, it was in some state!


Quick hoover and some carpet shampoo, it was looking pretty decent.


So, time to remove my old carpet. Here is what a focus looks like with no carpet or back seat bench.


Most tricky bit was removing the centre console. Trying to get the thing over the handbrake and gear lever was difficult but here we are.


Removing the seats requires caution. There is an electrical connection which connects a sensor for the airbags. My Haynes manual said to disconnect the battery and wait 5 mins before removing these connections, so that is what I did.


Time to fetch the new carpet down.


Focus floor with no seats.


Chuck in the carpet.


Fit carpet into door sills, etc.


Rebuild the centre console starting with the rear air ducting.


Pop the fascia back on.


Chuck the front seats back in and ensure they are wired up properly. (They are surprisingly heavy!)


Chuck the back seat bench back in.


Yay, finished!
