Hi,
Quick question (I hope)... we think we need to replace our sun shade switch for one of our windows (Black Rocker switch). The NITE shade works for the same window but the Sun Shade stopped working a couple of days ago. I've attached a picture below. We want to do this right and not booger up the wall trying to remove the chrome/silver/black panel around the switches. Does anyone have the super-easy trick to removing these silver panels so we have a chance to replace the sun shade switch in our BF window?
Or, do we not take that panel off and there is another way to replace a rocker switch like the one in the picture?
SIDE: the switches you see in the pciture are under a solid wood cabinet above the sofa.
Thanks in advance as always,

Re: Best way to replace Rocker Switches (Silver Plate) for sun shade
Quick follow-up to my own question... we did pry off the two silver plates with a small flat head screw driver (added some tape to flat head to protect the wood) -- they popped off... then there are screwes on the black plate to remove... we did replace the black rocker switch (6 pin) with a new one (a little difficult prying those pins off the wires) but it made no difference in the operation of the sun shade. It appears on this dual sun/night shade the sun shade motor may be bad. Based on initial research, "fixing" this sun shade may be well beyond what we can do so we have a query into the company who makes these shades to see if there is a service area near by ($$$ - ugh). Just wanted to give this update for anyone reading this in the future.
