that's my reply!!!
there was no way in hell I could do it in my '96:

Is this another example of decontenting? I tried to
push the buttons by the knee (not that it's quite easy
to get there being 6 ft tall...) and my conclusion is
that in my car it's only possible with an artificial
leg with a bolt joint instead of a knee.
I can't find this message but I recall that someone
mentioned that window switches became flat at some
point. If this is true then instead of disabling the
controls you should try to retrofit the old claster
(not sure if this is possible though).
so the laugh is on me now. cause in '98 SE it's really really easy
