Wow good to know the armrests are technically available separately. I didn’t know they detached. Interesting opportunity to do some color swapping inside lol. Make my two tone interior a three tone!

Here's a tip....look carefully at the pictures of the ones for sale on ebay. Some of them have broken tabs and it's not disclosed in the listing!

I think the armrest is held onto the panel by a couple of screws from the back side.

There's at least one YouTube video showing a guy making an aluminum tab to replace the plastic one that is broken on his door panel. No, I don't have the link -- I ust saw it months ago and know it is out there.

That would be a good video to watch.

This YouTube video shows it all!
Interesting. Freaked me out when he cut the wires, so he must be junking the truck itself. Also needs a tripod, he made me dizzy moving the camera all over the place. But it does show us how that switch bezel is screwed and clipped in.

Exactly! I bought my armrests and bezels. Should all be here by next week!

He forgot to mention to remove the screw in the lower plastic pocket. Get to it from under the panel while it's still on the door. If not you'll break that plastic pocket.
IIRC that only holds the pocket to the door panel, but doesn't do anything to hold the door panel on the door.
