Can someone help me on how to tighten my door trim? On my driver door, the woodgrain part with the window and vent controls is loose. How do I get behind there to tighten it up? I am assuming there are screws there because it is loosening more everyday. Thanks!

those switches are held in by a very poor design I'm sorry to say, in the front there is a piece of spring steel that holds it tight front to back, I'm guessing you guys are having the same problem I had, side to side movement.
In an effort to tighten my switch panel up the spring steel broke, with little to No bending.
There are no screws to tighten, I went to my dealer for the spring steel, not available seperate from the switches, they are hugely expensive, I then used some tacky glue to hold it tight. Better than new, or at least how I received it.
To remove switch panel in the future I'll have to remove the door, and carefully press them out, fine with me though. Been great for 1.5yrs.

Yes, I found out. I finally got tired of it and Pulled. Yep, little clip bent, broke when I bent it back. That is a really stupid way to hold all that together.
Tacky glue sounds right. I was going to try super, but that may be more destructive if I ever have to get back in there.
Thanks
