Why are you taking the switch off?

Put the switches on the centre console.

roof lining is also alcantara Dont reckon you would easily be able to operate them there with the door shut

Dunno where the re-trim was done; i think it cost about £3.5K

I'd go for in front of the gear stick or on either side of the sunroof handle (if you have one) or interior light.
