I'm trying to extricate the electric window switch panel from the driver's door panel. The door panel is off and I've removed 3 screws that I assumed was holding the switch panel. however. the thing still won't budge. I remember Tom telling me that the it's quite easy to break them if forced, leading to them rattling and being insecure. Is there a special way to remove the panel, to allow me to clean the switches with some electrical cleaner?
 
Does this help....


Try to squeeze the clips down the side a little. Still be very gentle.
 
I normally start with the back corner nearest the door panel. With those three screws out there should be some 'give' in both the door panel and the armrest down that side, allowing the lugs on the switch panel to pop out of their detents. The other side has three clips coming down from the switch panel holding it into the armrest, you might then be able to release these working through the hole in the back of the armrest.

Yes, most helpful, thanks. Dismantled now and trying to 'revive' the switches with some contact cleaner ?
