How do I remove...

...the power mirror/heated seat switch? I just don't want to mess-up the clips, or nick the console edges? Do I need to remove the front console?

Thanks

easiest way is to grab the trim ring around your shifter and lift up on it until it pops free. After u do that, you can reach in, and push the mirror/seat panel upward, freeing its clips and allowing you to remove it.

There's also a chance a clip might fall off. They slide right back on with no problems.
