What's up, guys?
I'm Andy from 1A Auto.
In this video, I'm going to show you how to remove this interior trim panel on this 2012
Ford Escape.
If you need any parts for your vehicle, click the link in the description and head over
to 1aauto.com.
Open up the lift gate.
Come back here.
You want to take this panel off first.
Just grab underneath ... just like that.
Set it aside.
You can just pull back this carpet, slide that aside.
This panel needs to come off, so we need to move the seats.
All right.
I'm just going to grab under the back of the seat here, pull up, fold it forward like that.
I'm going to remove this panel.
I just need a trim tool to gain access to this panel, to get underneath here.
It's just a clip holding this in.
And just pry up like that.
Oh, the clip fell out.
That's okay.
All right, on the front side over here there's a little push pin.
Over here, just get in behind the panel and push this out.
There we go.
All right, now we can pry underneath this push clip.
There you go.
That one's pretty long, too.
And then we can slide this forward a little bit, and we're going to have to pull the seat
down.
And here, keep the seatbelt out of your way.
Just get in behind the panel and push it.
Might have to use the trim tool.
There's just clips holding it in.
Just grab it, give it a good tug.
If that door comes off, it's no big deal.
Slide this forward, and just slide this out.
Now we're all set on the inside here, so I'll put this interior body panel back on.
Just slide this in.
Once it's in position, you can start pushing it on.
It just clips in place.
The weatherstripping right here has to go over the panel, so just grab it and fold it
over just like that.
Make sure that hole lines up right there.
Push the seat back there.
Now this little push clip is going to go right in here just like that.
And I'm just going to slide this push pin out.
Get this in position.
Push that down, and push the other push clip over here.
There we go.
Close that door.
You can push this seat back underneath.
I'll just take this trim piece, line this up just like that.
Push it on.
And we can take the carpet, put that back in position.
And take this door that fell off, and slide that back on.
Thanks for watching.
