Thanks - super helpful - changed it in 10 minutes with this helpful video. Note: my 125 pound wife broke it.

Fricking Mathew Currie was going to Charge $200 for the piece. I ordered the same part off of Amazon for $40. Took 15 minutes to replace. I do thank you sir.

We just got a 2020 Ford Explorer ST and the Same Panel clips broke. Ordering the New Panel on Amazon Now. Thanks for the video!

Glad to help

[@brianknight6388]

That worked great! Now, how about the Stanley breaking cup holder replacement tutorial 😅

[@SouthdownGarage]

@@brianknight6388 that ones next, i popped it out cleaning it lol

I found that the part is all over the internet for replacement, so it makes me think that these breaking is very common. My ST only has 14k and I weigh 185 and I'm not bouncing in and out, so I'm pretty disappointed that its already broken. The suggestion I would make about your video is that you didn't show how to disconnect the wire harness before pulling out the broken panel. One thing I would add is that the dealership told me that you want to be careful pulling on it because the wires will pull out of the harness pretty easily. One last comment, if you slide the seat up all the way, it makes it easier to work on.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Yes this is a common failure, some people break both sides. It seems to just be a poor design, and your right, it doesn't matter your wieght, they just brake.

Thanks for the video. Just ordered that part for $27 + tax/shipping from Ford online. It's worth that much just to avoid going anywhere near the dealership, even if (which I suspect unlikely) they would do a simple replacement under warranty.
