Hello all,
In the midst of renovating my 2005 GT and have a set of Katskins on the way. I am wanting to paint the plastic sides on my seats which are currently dove gray but I cannot figure out how to get the switches out. It appears the seat switch **** should pop off but it's not doing so easily. On the lumbar switch I can pop one side loose but can't get the other side loose. Anyone know how to remove these? I don't want to break them.

Thanks,


John

If you can't get them off, maybe you could use painters tape and mask around the switches.

See if this or maybe another section may help http://iihs.net/fsm/?dir=453&viewfil...ck%20Power.pdf

Thanks for the link! describes a bit on the removal but still not sure where the clips are. On the power seat switch just says "remove ****" but doesn't say how. Guess they expect you to be a ford mechanic and know how such parts work! :-)

The lumbar switch will come out. You just gotta work each side and release the small tabs. Get a small pick tool and pry it out little by little evenly n all side and soon enough it will clear the the bumps and come out.

The seat slider cover will come off. I just tool one of those panel pry tools and slowly put pressure on it and the cover pops off.

I removed mine, cause I was thinking of getting them hydrocarbon dipped, but decided to hold off for now.
