Hi solrac6262

Both botten are of the same size ( thats for a fact ) , are you sure that you have fitted the botten right in the trim hole ? , the hole in a 04 and a 07 trim is also of the same size , have you checked out that is not the wirring from the botten ( underneath ) that courses the problem , got stock between the trim and the botten.

Best Regards
BenAnd

thanks for the reply, on my old trim, the switch fits perfect on the new one is small, I believed I have seen in others and the switch has like a little piece that you can barely see alround maybe thats why it fits in the hole perfect, maybe the switch has another plastic attached to it, I will check today with the dealer and see what the difference on the switchs is..
here is a pic showing the trim
