Take a look at this !!!!! I havent ever thought to post this up but when the switch was replaced it was put in incorrectly by the guy who had the car before me......what a num nuts.

I dont know how to swap it over, Ive undone one screw but it wont come out. do I have to take off the whole door ? are there some instructions for this badboy ?

 

Should be the procedure.

thanks chief ! ill give this a go .

 

Even though that is the procedure to remove the panel, I can not remember if the switch is removable by itself without removing the panel. Been too long.

 

Yes it can be removed without removing the door panel.

 

oh ? there is only that torx bit and i cant seem to pry it off

 

I used a hook tool by the switch and hook it by the button and pull the switch assembly out.

 

ok so get something that will lift the button out....i just dont want to go pulling something and then having to buy a new window control.

 

Go in behind the button you will not pull up on the button like closing the window you will pull on the plastic behind the button.

 

ok thanks Tech, ill give it a go, hopefully without breaking anything

 

You can get a nice set of hooked style picks at harbor freight. That is the tool for this job.

this kind of thing ?

 

Yes exactly!

 

OK so I have finally got around to it and this is the furthest i have got. I have tried down the side at the little black clips but they wont budge and I dont want to break it off. Will I have to take my whole door trim off to change this silly thing over....

 

The entire section should have come out not just the cover.

 

f**k , looks like the door trim will have to come off then.....it didnt feel at all like it would budge Tech

 

I would use a small flathead screwdriver or pocket knife on the clips on the end of the switches. Taking the panel off is easy though if necessary.
