Default A fix for the door lock switch poping off!

Some of you guys have had the problem of the door lock "slider switch" poping off the door. Well if you take the plastic switch and heat up the plastic grip tabs with a match or lighter and then bend them out more and then cool it off under water it gives the lock switch more grip. Mine is now fixed and is solid! Give it a shot, it really works!

Yes, that whole lock indicator will come out of the door from locking and unlocking the door. Some trucks it happends to.

Let me know how it turned out. Be carfull not to over bend the 2 smaller clips that go on the left side. Mine is super tight now.
