door lock popper removal?

hey guys,

i dont know, but those damn door lock poppers are just annoying. they are at the exact spot where my elbow likes to sit when i cruise.

when i was at the tint shop today (37% metallic...will post pics when i clean the car), i noticed it was real easy to remove the door lock poppers and possibly fill cover the little hole with a plug of some sort. it shouldnt be an issue because you have the switch and remote at your finger tips. there is just no need to have those poppers on the upper door panel.

has anyone removed those unsightly things? or is it just me that thinks they should be gone?

They shouldn't be gone, just need to be relocated to another spot. How would you unlock your door from the inside if something is wrong with the electrical system? Some people have trimmed them down so they don't stick out so much, but mainly to reduce the interference with your arm resting there.

Well he could just remove the driver door knob, and in an emergency get out via one of the other doors
