Nice vid mate, couple of tips; 1. Draw on the yellow side on the foam 2. Use the edge of the foam as a straight edge (saves on waste) My boot key button doesn’t work either, any fixes for that? I’m enjoying your as you aren’t afraid to show the pain along with the success 👍

weirdly, one push of the button doesnt cut it. you have to double press it (in a second) I think

Found you today some great videos I’ve replaced my solenoid now it says boots open all the time 🤦♀️ I’m going to check the lights as there’s definitely moisture not a lot though so hopefully this fixes it I’ve got to replace the third bulb anyway so might as well look at them all It’s nice to see someone do it the real way lets face it we own fords lots of moments are use what you’ve got 😂

Did this do the trick for you? - on ours there is a seam weld below the light behind the bumper where the water seems to channel down, this has corroded and is leaking! - Not too hard to fix but still a pain.

@@MendItModIt i know i'm a bit late to the party, but as just preparing my new bootlid (the old one is heavily rusted around the window) for the swap i had to rewatch it :-) As for your key: has anyone ever told you to doublepress the bootlid-release-button? i think it's meant as a safety feature, as newer Fords (all my 3 Focus i had/have) also do it like this.
