Last week the local dealership quoted my wife $87.30 to replace the lower
seat (plastic) trim around the power seat controls. She turned down this
repair since the price of this cosmetic fix was not justfied. From what I
here, failure of the trim/cover is common maintenance items on both Pilots
and MDXs.

My question is can the power buttons and associated switch assembly be
easily removed from the broken trim (cover) for use with a new trim (cover)?
If so I can order the trim (cover) for about $25 and install part myself.
(Otherwise the switch assembly runs another $30 dollars or so.) Any advice
or thoughts would be appreciated.
