so i re-did the passenger door handle switch to day so here's a quick DIY:

this is the finished product:


Tools: (emboss heatgun on the left)


First begin by removing the switch box from the car. Use a interior tool and pull up.
There's just tabs, no screws. Then use a small flat screw driver and push into the
clip to undo the harness lock.

1. General shape + getting the switch control holes. i used one of my earlier templates to
get the switch control holes. the outer lines are just for general shape.


2. Cut out the switch control holes...give the corners some radius.


3. Position the DiNoc, press down.


4. Give it some heat with the emboss heatgun (it's low heat and unlike a hair drier
it doesnt blow air that much so easier to use).


5. Give it more heat and wrap-over to the back side a section at a time.
The emboss heatgun stands up on its own so use both hands to work
on the wrap.


(backside)


Trim off the excess, apply heat and press onto the switch trim.


6. Done...






Now to go your car, connect the harness, place switch control trim into the door.

<Important>
Turn your car on and do a window reset by pressing down to open the window,
hold for 5-10 sec, then roll up window all the way, count 5-10 sec and DONE.
