i'm sure this will be very useful! thanks for the pics! just be very careful with the switches... i've been told they're fragile and are pretty expensive to replace.

The switches can be removed from the plates. That means for those who wants aluminum, you can buy it at the dealer without the switches.

Dj- thanks for the pics. I have a question. I have some replacement sills that I need to install (my tinter nicked them all up so I had to get replacements). I've gotten to the point of trying to pull the door panel off. I'm a bit scared to yank it because it feels like the fiberboard panel is going to break before the fasteners give. When you removed it did you give it a good pull/yank or did you slowly pull until the fastener popped loose? I'm just afraid to ruin the door panel.
