its as simple as using a tork screw driver 20 i believe removing the trim then the 2 screws behind that, under the armrest there are 2 screws in the armrest. and then you have to pop off the window up/down control and unscrew the screw there. Then all you have to do is pull it off. It takes some work and you can't break the clips very easily.
