lift the window controls UP (start from the front edge)

there is a screw directly DOWN in that hole

also behind the little circle just infront of the door handle

yeah to take the actual door off u need to undo that bolt

its a 10mm

the power window controls(where the lil switches are to make hte window go up and down)
it just clips in with a metal spring clip thing.. just lever it up from the front i think it is.. may be the back .. its pretty hardy lil bugger so you shouldnt snap it

then just use flat head screwdrivers to pry the switches out (Theres little lugs that they clip into on the sides (you will see them once its out)

then the switches the selves clip onto the other bit the same way

then the metal rocker will be accessible.. this is what needs cleaning and underneath it (it gets carbon on it)
