Purpose and fitment

The backrest has been designed as a component of the Recaro seat factory-fitted in the ST-3 version, ensuring it maintains the correct geometry and ergonomics for the driver or front passenger on the right side. The vehicle placement is precisely defined as the front right seat, which facilitates part selection when replacing a damaged backrest or completing an interior after modifications. Its original Ford origin helps maintain stylistic and functional consistency with other cabin elements, without the need for structural modifications. This is particularly important for cars used dynamically, where stable and predictable back support has a real impact on driving safety.

Construction, material, and color

The backrest is made with a leather covering, which gives the interior a more organized, higher visual standard. Leather is easier to keep clean compared to classic fabric while working well with the character of the Recaro sports seat. The black color scheme allows for seamless integration into most third-generation Focus interior configurations, both in dark versions and those with contrasting accents. The profile of the backrest is characteristic of Recaro seats – it provides more pronounced lateral torso support in corners and stable support along the entire length of the back. As a result, the user gains more predictable body behavior during dynamic driving, which translates into a better feel for the car.

Practical application and benefits of installation

Installing this backrest is particularly beneficial in situations where the existing component has suffered mechanical damage, wear and tear, or when the vehicle owner is completing the interior after upgrading to Recaro seats. Using an original backrest from the same model line allows you to maintain:

• a consistent cabin look with the other seats,
• correct seating position and ergonomics,
• factory fitment to the seat structure and rails. Leather finish is conducive to daily use – it is resistant to typical dirt found in a car and allows for the use of standard leather upholstery care products. This is a practical solution for drivers who use their car intensively but also want to keep the interior in an orderly, presentable condition.

Condition and performance characteristics

The backrest comes from the secondary market, which allows for cost reduction while maintaining factory construction specifications. A used component of this type is often chosen for post-accident repairs, restoring a car to its original appearance, or building a project based on stock Ford components. This allows you to achieve a near-factory level of comfort and support without the need to invest in a complete new seat. Before installation, it is recommended to perform a standard verification of the mechanical and visual condition of the backrest and ensure it matches the existing seat base in your specific Focus model. This helps avoid unnecessary modifications and ensures the proper operation of the entire seat in the long term.
