Hey man just wondering how you went about removing the lower section with the power window switches. Tried to do it on mine but found it a bit stiff. Wondering if a bit of force is needed. Just don't wanna damage it.
Cheers

90% of these parts are abs plastics. if there not already topped with a factory paint (if there raw plastic) no need for plastic primer, the paint will melt right into it. if your plastic part dosent say ABS on the back check a spot on the back with some paint thinner on a rag. if the plastic melts its abs no primer needed (if raw)...

I have tried pulling on it but I feel like I'm going to break the din pouch an the fascia. If anyone can help or even have photos would be good as I need help big time

Quick question, ive read a different thread on this topic, its all the same but they say to sand back the plastic 1st before primer, theres been no mention of sanding in this thread. Did u guys all do it with or without sanding is the question ? Not very confident to sand tbh, might just prime and throw it on if its not required. Ur paint jobs all look schmick !! I'll be doing my vz centre console and cluster surround this weekend :)
