Ford Mondeo Mk4 2007-2014 Driver Dash Cubby Storage Box 7S71A04325B
This listing is for the right-hand / UK driver-side dashboard storage cubby and surrounding trim panel. Match the moulded number 7S71-A04325-B / 7S71A04325B, panel shape, aperture, fixing points, colour and finish to your original part. Send your registration, VIN and a clear photograph of your existing panel if assistance is required.
The panel is fitted on the right-hand side of the dashboard beside and below the steering-column area on UK right-hand-drive vehicles. It provides a small covered storage compartment and forms part of the visible lower dashboard trim.
What it controls: this is primarily a mechanical storage and trim assembly. It does not normally require coding. The lid/handle and hinge mechanism allow the compartment to open, close and remain secured.
Important: the supplied item is the component shown in the listing photographs. Switches, clips, brackets or adjoining trims are included only where visibly attached.
| Make | Model / generation | Years | Body styles | Fitment conditions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ford | Mondeo Mk4 / Mondeo IV / BA7 | 2007–2014 | 5-door hatchback, 4-door saloon and estate | UK right-hand-drive dashboard; must match 7S71-A04325-B, shape, colour and fixings |
Not confirmed for: Mondeo Mk3 (2000–2007), Mondeo Mk5 (2014-on), left-hand-drive dashboards, S-Max, Galaxy, Focus, Kuga or any vehicle with a different moulded number, panel profile, colour, aperture or fixing arrangement.
Do not order solely because the vehicle is called “Mondeo” or because eBay’s compatibility checker shows a broad match. Compare the photographs and number on your removed part first.
Main number: 7S71-A04325-B / 7S71A04325B
Known cross-reference seen in market listings: 1691851 and 7S71-A043K93-BH3ZCT. Treat these as reference numbers only and verify physically before purchase.
Type: right driver-side dashboard cubby / storage compartment trim.
Material: moulded automotive interior plastic with textured visible finish and mechanical lid/hinge components.
Condition: used. Normal age-related marks, handling marks and minor cosmetic wear may be present. Study every listing photograph.
• Lid will not stay closed or repeatedly drops open.
• Broken latch, handle, hinge or retaining tabs.
• Panel sits proud, rattles or moves because mounting points are damaged.
• Deep scratches, cracking, impact damage or missing trim.
Replacement restores secure storage, reduces rattles and improves the dashboard’s appearance.
A used factory-specification component is designed around the vehicle’s original dashboard contours, texture, mounting points and tolerances. A low-cost copy may differ in colour, grain, fit, latch quality or mounting strength. Buying used can also offer substantial savings compared with a new dealer-supplied component; savings vary by item and availability and are not guaranteed.
Best result: use the part number and photographs as the primary match. This is more reliable than relying only on registration, engine size or generic item specifics.
Typical time: approximately 20–45 minutes for an experienced fitter. Time varies with previous repairs, damaged clips and access.
Typical tools: plastic trim-removal tools, Torx-bit set, small ratchet or screwdriver, magnetic parts tray, inspection lamp and protective gloves.
Outline: switch off the ignition; protect adjacent trim; carefully release any surrounding trim; remove accessible Torx screws; support the panel while releasing clips; disconnect any fitted switch or lamp plug if present; compare old and replacement parts side by side; transfer required clips or fittings; install without forcing; check panel alignment and lid operation.
