2007 Mustang Window Switch Bezel Removal

In 1964, Ford challenged the automotive realm when it released the first car that experts classified as a "pony car." The Plymouth Barracuda joined the Mustang in the pony car class the same year actually the Barracuda is 16 days older than the Mustang, but the Mustang was first to receive the pony car tag and the Chevrolet Camaro popped in three years later. The 2007 Mustang, with its retro design, came standard with not-so-retro features, such as air conditioning, cruise control and power windows. Replacing the window switch bezel, the trim piece surrounding the power window switch, on the 2007 Mustang is a straightforward process that nearly any do-it-yourself mechanic can perform.
