I have the window trim piece from the Durango as well. The Dakota switch and
trim piece are all one, the Durango is a two piece, the trim is separate
from the switch.As far as the door panel goes, it's basically a one piece
molded piece - with the exception of the pull handle. On the Durango, the
trim goes through three holes in the door panel, and the switch is screwed
into from behind - causing a sandwich. It's just a matter of trimming
slightly and drilling a few holes. I think at this point I will only get two
of three holes to catch, the third looks a little too close to call at this
point.
