Does anyone else have a problem with the window switch panel popping out of the door handle? How do I fix this. I know it happened on my V6 when I tried to remove them to paint them (I lost the little metal clip). It happened to my Z and wondered if there is an easy fix for it. If not, does anyone know how much a new panel would cost?

 

I got so tired of it popping up no matter what I did I just superglued it down it comes right back off if I need it to, just incase your worried

 

I tried supergluing it on my V6 and either it wouldn't hold or the sun would heat the glue up and it would pop out again. I guess I'll try it this time though, the things really starting to **** me off (I'm really touchy about my car ).

 

Same here

If the glue doesn't work I'd say go to a junk yard and get either just the new little clip dealy or the entire switch assembly

 

try NEW clips, or at least use some needle nose pliers and make them springy again... also, the wires in there get really stiff and tend to be the cause of it "pushing" out... maybe a heat gun would work to soften the wires??? just an idea, make sure you ask someone wiser.

 

one of mine broke and me and buddy just made one out of a little pice of metal and superglued ti to the plate. works fine, can be removed just like normal and reinstalled.

 

I had the same problem with mine. I took out the clips, drilled small piolet holes where the clips were, then screwed in some screws to hold it in. With the whole assembly upside down I put the one in the back so that the tip of the screw is in contact with the part that the clip was holding on to. For the front one, the head of the screw is holding it down. I would get a pic, but it is raining right now.

 

I've never had the problem of the panel popping up, but I have had a problem with the power window switch dropping down when I try to push it in to operate the windows. Several times I had to pop the panel up and try to lock it in place. The last time I did it I finally got it to stick. Haven't had a problem since then.
