Guide : All things fiesta mk6 related - Tiestoooooo
Just thought id make a thread up with useful info in the mk6 ,made one on the mk5 when i had that and had quite alot of views , so im assuming it was helpful to some .
How to remove heater rings : (Facelift only) , to paint , DO NOT try this with prefacelift as these are screwed in where as the facelift vents are simply clipped in place .
Tools needed : Preferibly a trim removal tool failing that use a thin flat screwdriver coverd in a microfibre cloth to save scratching the dash.
The middle two above your stereo , are easier than the outer two , if you put your trim removal tool or flat driver in at the corner of the vent , and put your fingers on the part where you open and shut the vents , and slowly and gently leever the vent out towards you , no brute force needed here , they may be a little stiff due to the fact theyve never been out lol ,repeat for the other vent .
Now for the two outer vents closest to each window , these are a little tighter because of the foam dashboard , anyway same steps , but you may need to put your trim tool or driver in a little deeper and nice and gently ease it out .
Then assuming you want to paint the silver surround , there is 3 clips that hold it on to the actual vent its self , with your trim tool or driver gently prize all 3 tabs up and the silver surround , paint them , then there is only one way the surrounds go back on , so clip them back in place , and then re insert them in to your dash , they go in very easily , you dont need to remember exactly what vents go where , as they all fit in without any problems.
How to remove gear stick surround : to paint or wrap , First of all you will need to remove the gearknob , this is a simple case of twisting the gearknob anti clockwise , keep twisting and it will come off , then grab both sides of the surround and pull upwards and then it will be free ,
This will need to be done to change the gear stick toilet plunger to a nice leather gaitor , or wether you want to paint the silver surround on the gear stick surround,the silver surround is held on by 3 flimsy clips , this needs no effort at all to unclip .
No tools needed for this.
How to remove side indicator lenses : to change to clear or smoked These are simply just clipped in .
Tools needed : Preferibly a trim removal tool failing that use a thin flat screwdriver coverd in a microfibre cloth to save scratching the bodywork.
Start off on either side there both the same , So as you look at the lense if you put your trim tool in the bottom left corner or your coverd up driver and slowly and gently leever it out , again no brute force needed , they will just pop out , hold the actual bulb holder , and twist the lense anti clockwise , fit your new clear or smoked lense and twist clockwise , now there is a clip on the lense that hooks in , put this side in first then gently push the lense in , repeat for the other side .
How to remove handbrake surround : to paint or maybe fit the armster armrest , if you grab the surround from each corner at the back of the handbrake and pull upwards , its held in by two clips at the back and two at the front , clips are very sturdy , so if its tight give it a good pull , then you may need to manoeuvre the surround to get it round the actual handbrake
