you need a flathead screwdriver to pull up a cover thing in the bottom of the holder, and there is 2 phillips screws under it. then just pull it out

What I did notice though is that the silver paint on the trim is garbage. I redid it once on a couple of pieces and the plastidipp pulled off some of the paint. And it's so thin, it's not really that hard to scratch it either.

its easy, first you will need a small flat head screw driver. You will see a cover on the bottom of the inside door handle. Push in the tab on the one side and lift it up and out. You will then see 2 phillip drive screws. Get your phillips screwdriver and take those 2 out. The whole assembly should come out now. The front of it will have a little tab on it so when you take it out lift the back end then pull it out. The switches are held in by tabs that you have to release, just be careful not to break those. And thats it. Same for both sides.

Yeah the stock trim paint is garbage. Thats the reason why i plasti dipped my interior. There were way too many light scratches and paint pealing.

It's addicting. I have to redo my interior. It was windy outside and kept flipping the pieces over when I walked away to poop.

**** is always getting in the way of getting things done. Literally.
