Window switches are clipped in from behind, when you replace them make sure you get all clips to catch, as it is annoying to have to remove the door panel again when you haven't got one of them in and the switch starts dipping at the unsecured end. Also, don't forget to reconnect the electrical connector before replacing the door card. | Window switches are clipped in from behind, when you replace them make sure you get all clips to catch, as it is annoying to have to remove the door panel again when you haven't got one of them in and the switch starts dipping at the unsecured end.
