I want this but am not willing to remove the door card. There are some things I am a total wuss about! Seems like a PIA to pry off based on the video. Not so much the pry, but getting it through the hole. I think I would be more likely to pry it out from the front if I were to go for it. How did you go about it?
Does the new one not cover the area of the old one completely? I caught that in this thread it did not cover. I think that would bug me. Let me know. Definitely not completely out of the picture yet!

As for the switch, you can tell it is maybe about 1/8 of an inch smaller in perimeter than the original switch and the buttons might be chrome. Those two things do bug me and I'm sure it will bother the hell out of your OCD. |

Joe, I did what this guy did: I had to use needle-nose vice grips to get the factory switch out. |

One of the videos in this thread shows how to change the buttons. You could swap in all the black ones except for the passenger button if you wanted to.

I was experimenting with removing the buttons on the old switch. The more I live with it the more I like it. Being to actually see the buttons is a bonus! I actually toyed with the idea of replacing the passenger door switch.
