โ๏ธ Part Function, Material & Description
This listing is for an original Ford factory interior rear right door release handle assembly removed directly from a Ford Focus C-MAX. Built from automotive-grade, high-durability ABS plastic with a satin silver lever coating, this handle operates the internal mechanical door latch via a steel cable system.
What It Controls: This assembly connects to the interior release cable. When pulled, it releases the door latch mechanism, enabling passengers to open the rear right (driver side rear) door from inside the cabin securely.
