Removing internal door pannel

[FireBrad]

Hi guys, my electric window buttons are sticking and need to be pressed really hard to work. How do i go about taking the door pannel off to gain access to clean or replace the electrics unit?


Cheers, Brad

Does it just pop out? dont want to break any clips

yep - small flat head screwdriver will pop the switch and surrounding cover out - then you can strip it down

On the passenger switch I used a blunt butter knife. I find small screwdrivers don't spread the load enough and you can get a chip or dent where you try it, the knife being wider and probably thinner.

Sure there's a link between a butter knife and spreading....

and when you do clean the contacts dont use wet and dry as said in the how 2 , just use a simple pencil eraser

ok , thanks for the tips. I've got the unit out now, just looking on ebay and replacement part seems to be about £10 so not a big deal If cleaning the contacts doesnt work.

Thanks for the help people

Cleaning the contacts solved the problem, the buttons now work perfectly


Thanks
