2017 CX-5 Window switch panel?

[Batt3k]

Does anyone know how to remove window switch panel?

Screw behind the the door handle cover that pops right out and a screw under the the cover for shutting the door.

Do you have any instructions or picture ? Thank you

Dude just go pop the covers off and the screw is right there. They come off easy like just placed in. Buy new door panel clips before you do it or you'll have to go back in again as you'll most likely break a few even with a panel puller.

Is it possible to remove just a window switch cover, not a whole door panel?

Practically impossible, I replaced one on a 2017 already. There are several pawl grips on each side of the cover and one at the top, with a metal grip at the bottom. You need access from behind to release these, especially the inside ones. It’s not that difficult to get the door panel off though, the 2 screws as mentioned and use a trim puller to pop the clips.

Word of caution - the top rear clip (closest to the seat belt pillar) is not a traditional pop-off clip, the door panel hooks over it so you must lift the door panel up off it when all the other clips have been undone.

THIS is the kind of reply that really helps. Kudos to you, Splinter Cell.
