I drove my mom's 03 Escape and did not see anything inside the doors. More than likely something they put on from the factory to protect it during delivery and the dealership was supposed to take it off when they got it.

Thank you! Finally I get a real answer!
I was thinking the same thing due to how flimsy the foam was and just about to fall off anyway. If Ford knew it was something major to have on the door, they would have used something more then that flimsy falling off Peace of foam.Thanks for the Information

No problem. I may be wrong, but wouldn't other Escapes have this if it was supposed to be there?
You know that everyone on this site has to have someone to pick on, especially when they have as much bad luck as you do

It turns out, ur the only one that was right!
I was at a Ford dealership today picking up something I ordered, and wanted to walk the lots of the parking lot to see if anymore Escapes had this foam in the door way.
sure enough, none of them had it, not one!
I'm glad I took them off now as it surved no Purpose and it was only for shipping!
So "Clonetek" whos the idiot now?!

Did you ASK someone in the SERVICE DEPARTMENT what the foam was?
As far as "who's the idiot now", my magic 8 ball says you still are.
You've proved that fact over and over again.
I bet the mechanics at the ford place send you Christmas cards for putting their kids through college.

My excuss is trying to find rattles as I drive! 
I finally learned that every Ford vehicle rattles no matter if it's a car or truck or SUV. I don't ever remember being in ANY ford vehicle that does not rattle and sound cheap. I'm a Ford fan but they really gotta tighten up on Quality as they build these damn things. I'm sick of driving around trying to fix what shouldn't be there in the first place

Heres the pic of it.... can I rip it off? whys it there in the first place?

but I really want to know what that foam is, and if I can take it off. Its on both driver and passenger side doors.
