I think that the door panels are clipped on, so you need to gently get your fingers behind one of the corners, (bottom one is better) & pull, you feel (and hear) the clips releasing... why you wanna take the panels off anyway? (just curious)

I have this incessant vibration coming from behind the door panel. Sounds like a wire vibrating against the plastic door casing.

Whenever I had a noise problem with my previous Fiesta, they always took the car out on test and could never hear anything - probably gave the car to an 80 year old deaf fitter I expect.

So, I'm going to expect the same crap off Ford again - "We couldn't find the fault - when it happens again, just bring the car in".........yeah, ok - I'm miles away from the dealership and really gonna travel all the way back to you!!

So, I thought - cut out the middle man and do it yourself.

hi, yip the dude is correct, once you've negotiated the door handle etc then its just a matter of unclipping, but I can asure you those clips dont come of that easy (the car is very well put together) apologies for over simplifying the issue.

Haha Chris you've dug yourself a hole now

Come on then lets hear it, Why did you put your Girly behind the door panel with something that vibrates .. was it something so you had a constant reminder of something rather ooooooh mmm
