just wondered if anyone has fitted a scuttle panel on a s2, mine is rotton and leaks water into the car by the screen so needs doing, how bad are they to do or is it a body shop job? cheers

depends on your skill but its a windae out job and it will be alot worse than you think. i scrapped mine cause of it lol still got the new panel though

steve_o

Holy shit u scrapped it? How bad can it get? Mine has got one hole about an inch long on the passenger side just below the window seal, I wud do it myself but if its bad I'll get a body shop to do it. Did u get a genuine Ford panel or pattern?

Quite a big job, you may find when the dash is out that it will be rotten in the bottom corners of window/scuttle area

Cheers mate, yeah its still here and running fine, Its a totaly different car to the focus, can't really compare as they are so different...

It just a pattern panel. Took the windae out and there was a bout 7 inches missing either side couldve fixed it but I'd stripped it down and it was rotten would be cheaper buying a finished car. That and I was driving at work and the back of the dash went on fire.
