So I had 4 projects today, 3 on the Jeep and install my one-touch window module.
My Jeep projects went 3 for 3 bad:
1. Received wrong item
2. Received defective item
3. Color is terrible so getting returned.
Therefore it was with trepidation that I approached the Ranger, knowing full well that I would likely break the dreaded clip since the rest of my adventures were going so well.
I resigned my self to remove the door panel to prevent this from occurring.
After I removed the first piece of trim, I realized that I now had easy access to the aforementioned retainer clip.
Yes! Something went right for a change!
So anyway, follow along to install the module with no weeping and gnashing of teeth.
1. Remove the small piece of trim from the door panel face. Start at the rear of the door and work your way forward. The little plastic clips will release cleanly with no breakage.
When you get to the end at the front pull it straight out. Here's the removed trim piece.
Now with that removed, you have a lot of holes and lots of access to the mounting of the switch.
Shine a flashlight in there and you can clearly see the offending retainer. I used a flat screwdriver and compressed the retainer and the switch came right out. Lift at the rear of the switch and rotate it forward and up. Here is the little devil retainer.
Now just plug in your window module and apply the velcro to the back of it. I attached the 2 pieces together and then removed the film that protects the adhesive. Fished it into the switch hole and snapped the switch back into place. Insert the front of the switch first so that the hook catches and then snap the rear down.
Now put your finger into the hole in the panel and push the adhesive up against the underside of the armrest.
Total time elapsed including time to take pictures was around 10 minutes.
Look at those fingernails. Someone has a Jeep.
