Electric Window lock panel removal?

[boostyGST]

Hey guys, did a search but nothing came up. Uh......my electic window and door lock swiches fell down out of there places on the little panel. By the way I have a 96 GST. Anyway, wondering how you take that little panel out so i can pop those switches back in there places. It is on the passenger side.

you have to take off the door panel and access it from there. There should be these sort of pegs that supports it and keeps them flush with the armrest. One of them maybe calapsed. Take the door panel off and you can check it out from there.

This is a somewhat common problem. Usually what happens is the plastic part with the switch screws into breaks. What some people do is melt the plastic together. I took some wire and kinda tied it up there. Its hard to explain, but it looks like new and it holds perfectly. Maybe ill get some pictures of what i did, but yea just take off the door panel and try to rig something up

like boostyGST said it's pretty common, has happened to a couple of my dsm's, to pull the door off there are 2 screws at the back of the door card and 2 in front, once you have them out, there’s a screw in the little cover that goes around the door latch handle, and one more under a little cover in the recessed area you use to grab the door when you close it from the inside, once you have all these out the door will still seem somewhat secure still, it has those little pop plastic things like x-mas trees but the reusable kind still holding it in. use a flat head screw driver or something like that to pop the door card off the door (from the bottom) there is a row of them I forget how many though, once you have it off you'll be able to determine how bad it is, the ones I’ve fixed I used slightly longer screws then what were in it (there is some clearance in the posts fortunately so you can do this) this will only work if the post are broken somewhat closer to the switch, I also use a good glue (like plastic weld) when I do this so as to prevent it from reoccurring. hope this helps!
