Just round the corner.
Hi all,

I've done a search, but can't find a how to guide to replace the drivers door winodow controls.

I managed to snap the passenger window control. So bought a used one off ebay for a tenner.

Trouble is, it's not straight forward as I'd hoped.

Can anyone give me a few tips, before I end up busting the door card :confused:

Thanks in advance.

What bit are you replacing?

If its the plug there are four little tabs, spend some time prizing it off so you don't damage it.

You can also seperate the actual switch from both the plug and the holder.

Done this today so if you can post a pic or explain more, i'm sure i can help

Door card off.

Remove handle cover(PITA), unscrew 2 screws in handle and 2 torx head screws in the bottom of the door card. Pull it carefully but firmly to undo clips going around edge then lift upwards, lots of wires pluged in so unplug them and you should be allright with the rest.
