Outer door handle removal and install 2020 Ford Escape Part 2

This video explains how to fix the door handle hardware when you can't get the handle reinstalled properly due to a clip inside being locked in place accidentally. This was a major pain in the butt to figure out and took me a ton of time so please excuse the crude video and feel free to buy me a case of beer for the time and aggravation that this will save YOU!

Man you saved my day! I've been struggling on a customers car for hours trying to figure this out and this solved my problem.. THANK YOU!!

[@peterdecker1247]

You, sir, are a scholar and a gentleman.

[@benmash5554]

You Just saved me a headache it also works on the Ford Focus of the same year 👍🏻

[@dobrenkijbog8805]

You literally saved my day man! So thankful to you!

[@shaneo6388]

Saved my butt with this video. Was wrapping this car and installed all other door handles but the driver side. Was going nuts for a minute, but glad you shared this

[@thepokefactory]

Doug you just saved my day !!! Thanks for this !!

[@isaacbranson3309]

I’m a body/paint tech from Missouri, thanks for the info! Saved me a lot of time and headache

[@nickpoling3218]

Thank u so much!! U are the man. I appreciate you figuring that out. Got me out of a pickle.

[@robertloza5722]

Hell yeah man!!! I swallowed my pride after an hour… and hoped someone solved this.from TEXAS thank you so much 🙏

[@MobileCustoms]

Glad it helped

[@dobrenkijbog8805]

I had to change the lock and of course remove the handle. If anyone would have told me to unscrew that goddamn screw to the end....I would not have spent 3 hours on my knees by that door. Once I pushed that thing on the video, I replaced the handle in literally 3 minutes...

[@Rynodesign80]

Thank you so much, I hope this works, this looks like the exact same mechanism on ford ranger 2022 and I have 3 handles that have done the same, if it works tomorrow I feel I need to fly to the US and give you beer. Fingers crossed. Cheers

[@jbear906]

Thanks Doug from lake Ozarks. I was about to use the air chisel and cut the whole damn handle out......😳😳😂😂😂🐻 This helped a lot.

[@MobileCustoms]

Glad it helped. I also made the video for myself, for future refence, if needed again. My memory ain't what it used to be!

[@deeznutz4292]

Thanks man! Really helped me out with a customers car!

[@user-sv3iq8xk4j]

Your a life saver bro...lol

[@MobileCustoms]

I wish they had a "Buy Me A Beer" button for every time I've heard that here. LOL Glad it helped ya

[@jonny-hv9iq]

saved my life, thank you👏🏽 this also works for the 2023 Ford Maverick.

[@johnpeccerillo4747]

Did you have to take the whole panel off? I’m having the same problem with my maverick?

[@briancoleman936]

Thank you for saving this body guy the headache!

[@brunomiranda8216]

Bro, I love you!!!! ❤ hahahaha

[@miguelcortes8290]

Thank you. I hate working on Fords

[@aaronholder6547]

Hello, thanks for the video. My question is if you don’t have that copper piece stuck how do you lock it back in place to put the handle in ?

[@PapisX_Xworld]

Is there instructions on how to get that whole thing out?

[@brezinski24]

I cannot get this thing back in. I’m half a day in and can’t figure it out

[@TravisWhiskey]

How did you get the door lock cylinder off of that piece to take it out? I've messed mine up and need to get it out

[@krustykrabpizza7279]

An angel sent from god. Thank you. I was flabbergasted. THE REAL QUESTION IS!? Is this intentionally designed like this, so people working on cars end up taking it to a dealer? Dealer charges hundreds of dollars, and just pops the brass piece back? I don’t see that mechanism connected to any hardware for door function.

[@MobileCustoms]

It has a purpose: It's main function is to aid in the creation of colorful new swear words.

[@hosseinravan2610]

Perfect 👍

[@user-ff6un1st7d]

thanks for share

[@brendal.g.burris1982]

How do you put the spring back on the lock to hold it in place

[@brendal.g.burris1982]

Please help me on this

[@marklynch912]

What size is the screw on the end as I need a replacement sharpish

[@MobileCustoms]

I'm not sure. the car is long gone.

[@MobileCustoms]

maybe try finding one in a junk yard.

[@duanedahl8856]

The most Sadistic door handle ever designed hands down

[@eriknove]

Now, will doing this save me the work of removing the door panel?

[@MobileCustoms]

Yes, that was the point of making the video, to show how the little parts work and where they are located so that you should be able to get in there with a little hook tool and release it from the outside.

[@eriknove]

@@MobileCustoms and thanks you and another guys video I managed to fix it, you rock!!! Thankyou for taking the time to do these videos, i salute you 🫡. God bless you my friend.
