Or, get them to give you new new switch panel to take home and fit properly yourself. It's a doddle to take the door card off.

Keith

vertical cracks from the chrome bar down towards the window emblem.


Must be a sub-standard batch of plastic - shouldn't crack like that  :rolleyes:

Mine is starting to look the same. I'll get them to change it out when it goes in for a service.
