What switch? I'll look in Work Shop manual, just tell me what switch do you want to remove (seat, window?).

If its the window switch then there is a hole on the underside of the arm rest under the switch. Use the biggest allen key you can get in the hole and push the switch out gently.

Check the underneath, there may be a hole, if not then the second picture applies.
Mind the work
Shop manual is written for left hand drive vehicles...

Well that was painless enough .....except the old trim bit is now broken due to getting the window switch out but the new trim bit was only £7.54
so happy days!!!

Rub the remaining rubber off the door handle and it will look great with the new switch. This is what I did. It looks factory.

I did my mirror switch cover the other day and it looks so much better now.
Also did what
Shop said and rubbed off the rubbish rubber finish on the door handles, good advice
