Review on πŸšͺ Gekufa 74232-01030 Window Switch Bezel Driver Side for 2003-2008 Toyota Matrix & Pontiac Vibe – Front Left Door Armrest Panel by Robert Capers

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not ideal for Matrix '05 (SEE UPDATE)

I kept the screws from the old part so it wasn't a problem as it was for one of the other reviewers. However, it didn't fit so well. I couldn't figure out why so I took out the switch part and did a "dry landing" so I could see through the holes. The plastic clips on the door are too long. Also, the contour along the length of the driver's side does not match the contour of where it should be joined. It's pretty easy to paste; However, when I "pull" the window switch, the whole thing goes up. it's coming back Installation tip: There is a "clip" on the rear end behind the rear window switches that needs to be inserted first and then lowered into the hole. UPDATE: For a few euros you can buy an original part that fits much better. For example, there's a clip on the front end of the part, it's metal, not plastic, and it holds up much better. Also, a small curve fits better with the contour it fits into. You can find the part by searching "Genuine Toyota Door Armrest Panel 74232-01030" or by clicking here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FSDFKAO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
