Does the inside of the window switches just pop off? I'm not talking about the actual switch but the surrounding parts???

Mine didn't (sports trim), so it was harder to do. That was probably the only time I wish I had wood trim, LOL.

Sounds like that is probably different than what I have then.

I just bought 1 yard which was $35. Someone before said you might want to buy 2 yards in case you mess up but I think 1 yard would be plenty, even if you had to do it over again.

Agreed. I've messed up twice now on the biggest piece (center console) and I still have quite a bit left.
