2021 Repair 2013 Explorer 3rd row Seat cover door 

don't have to unbolt the bracket - just pop it out and the panel lifts up.

Thank you for this video! I will try soon, disappointed at ford for making this design.

Thanks Richard! Mine broke years ago and have just been ignoring it. Your video is exactly what I was looking for. Plan to fix this summer

Anyone know the part number for this on a 2017 flex limited I cant seem to find it and don't want to go to a dealership and just order online ? Thank you for the help.

Thanks for showing us how to do this fiber glass repair, my 2013 Flex is broken on both sides. I bet 7/10 Explorers/Flex will have this problem. Strangely enough, Ford had similar floors in the Freestyle/Taurus X and owners have never had this problem. Ford seemingly made the part cheaper for our newer vehicles... A common fix for Flex owners is to find used floors from Freestyles at junk yards.

Thank you! My 2013 broke with the weight of my Saint Bernard. Super upsetting when their commercial for this exact vehicle showed a Saint Bernard in the back.

Both sides of mine are broken. I will be doing this repair as soon as I can get to it. Thanks for showing me how! Great video :)

Just happened to me, great video, now I know how to fix it, thanks

Thank u for the excellent advice.

Thank you Richard!

Very useful, great fix!

Omg! I Love You ❤😊 Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This made me want to Throw Up when my car was broken 😢 My friend u put my Pieces of my LIFE back together 😅😊

Richard for president! Thanks for the video Richard. My kids, as toddlers, broke mine and it’s been bugging me for years. I’m going to get this done this summer.

Thank you Richard. Great video! I'm going to fix mine tomorrow.

Hi Richard: I just purchased a 2013 Explorer and my panels were in almost the same condition, I found your video and though lets see if this will do the trick. Upon inspection mine were worse. But your video inspired me to go ahead and try it with a few modifications. First I used fiberglass mat instead the the cloth, while the cloth would work I needed to be able to get into some of the contours more due to where the cracks were. I also have cracks going through the indented circles so each one received it's own fiberglass circle patch. I also used 2 inch angled aluminum down each side (available at most hardware stores) to make sure my backs were square. and a ton of clamps. it work perfectly. I did notice that each panel has a "channel" around the front that could easily accommodate a piece of steel bent to fit and then glassed in to really add some extra stability. Thanks for this video that showed me what I needed to do. I'm also a railfan so I have subscribed. Keep up the great work

I just finished this exact repair on a 2018 explorer. It has the two plastic rails to strengthen the panel, but alas it still snapped. Used the same method, just had to cut the sheets to go between the rails and outside. Made flattening it easier though because I just plaxlced a heavy steel plate on top of the rails to keep it level.

I almost did the same thing. Seemed very flimsy to me…. I am thinking about reinforcing the sides with some steel strapping and fiberglass so there’s no change of breaking and so it can hold more weight

Thanks a lot, worked great for me and the kit had enough material to cover both doors failing points, so i fixed the broken one and reinforced the other one that was starting to warp a little bit even while it wasn't fractured yet.

Great video. Just had the same thing happen to mine. Definitely going to do the same thing. Thanks!

Thank you, you saved me!!

Like you, I never even imagined that this would break. I've been crawling over mine many times in my '16 Ex. Won't be doing that anymore. Good to know it's easily fixed though. Great vid sir 🫡

Thank you for doing this!! Very grateful!

Thank you for taking the time to share this fix.

I'll be trying this soon. Thanks for the video.

I have the same issue on a 2014 Explorer, thanks for showing how easy it is to flip it over. When I flipped over the board I have 2 plastic braces running front to back that I did not see on your 2013. My crack is right at the end of the baces. Seems the Ford modification did not help. I tried glueing it with Liquid Nails general adhesive but it did not bond so I am off to find something stronger.
