    No imprint. All you can do is check out a car with the switches and get a rough idea of where they go. I would install the switch into a piece of cardboard and get a good fit, then remove the switch from the cardboard and use the cardboard as a template. That's what I did and it turned out good.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    You can find door trims dirt cheap....I'd definetly be grabbing a set and swapping the fabric inserts over to match your interior.

    Atleast that way the switches are easy to install and you won't have holes left from the window winders
