Many times. You have to disassemble the switch to mod verts and coupe's to get the all-up/dwn feature to work. I pull the buttons out as I find it much easier to assemble the switch and then push the button back in.

Right you are, I got it to work. Now I feel a little less intelligent for not getting it the first time around, but it always good to be humbled by something. I'll make a quick DIY for those people like me.

Best way to get the leftmost (driver's side) dash trim piece off?

Buy a $6 set of trim tools from Harbor Freight and have at it. There are two pins, one on the leftmost side of the trim, and one on the right side of the trim. Pry carefully from the bottom. I'd do a little bit on each side till it eventually pops off.
I can remove mine by hand, so it takes me 3 seconds. lol

lol. I have the pry tools and I've done the right/middle so many times they are easy. The left on is definitely solidly in there, so I wanted to make sure there were no tricks. Thanks BP.

Unfortunately not. "Just do it" is as good as it gets.
Make sure you have spare orange inserts handy because you will destroy at least one!

I'd recommend buying 6-10 orange dash trim female connectors. 1-2 typically fall apart every time I remove the trim. Another inferior made BMW plastic bit.

You can also use a wide flat blade screw driver to get the dash trim pieces off....that's what I do...
Capo
Can't really call them inferior since they were designed as single use... and stay perfectly tight right up until you remove them.
