Here is a quick tutorial for those that aren't overly confident of tackling the job without pictures
Pop a flat blade screw driver under the cover panel and lift it up and forwards, the cover panel complete with switches will lift up Squeeze the tabs on the connectors until the switches and panel is free from the door trim Using the base of the screwdriver, pop the switch out (sorry for the crappy image) Insert the screwdriver into the side of the switch and gently level the housing over the locating tab on the switch button... Repeat on the other side Here you can see the contact strips, the switch and the housing A close up of the contacts, see the black gunk, we want to remove all that and have nice clean fresh contacts (I only did mine recently so there is no loose debris floating around in the housing. Don't be suprised if you have never dismantled them before to find lint,fluff and dirt in the housing. Tip the housing upside down and tap it all out. A tissue on the end of the screwdriver works well too) All nice and clean, expose some bare metal using the corner of the screwdriver to scrape the contacts To assemble you simply put the contact strips back in the housing ** note there are locating tabs in the housing that line up with the notches on each strip so they will only go in one way. Fit the switch back onto the housing by locating one round tab then wiggling the switch button down into the housing until the other locator pops into place. Then gently push the complete switch into the cover until it clicks, reconnect the loom then try all the windows.. If it is all good refit the cover into the arm rest until it pops into place.
