So tonight I changed my door switches ..my passengers door one had fallen apart ..
Image
Removed switch holder and found even the holder was broken :( so I improvised and used a cable tie in a figure of eight around new switch and holder which did the job nicely
Image

So moved onto the drivers door and used my trim tools to pop the handle off

Hi,

Which LC pads did you end up using?
Be interested to know as we both have soft paint and I'm going to be giving mine a full paint correction soonish...
