How do you remove the electric window switch panel from the driver's door armrest? There is a rattle coming from somewhere in mine which I want to sort out. I've released the clip at the back with a bent srewdriver but it simply will not budge any further, even after using considerable force. I can see two white plastic pins or something inside as I try and pull it away, but can't work out what's stopping it from coming away.

I've removed the blank panels on the rear doors before without difficulty and thought the front ones would be the same, just with the electrics attached, but there seems to be more to it than that.

there are 3 clips around the edge of the trim , gentle levering will be required to free them off

hope this helps

Thanks for the advice, I'll have another go when I have a bit more time. When I removed the rear door trims, I released the clip on the inside of the armrest using a bent screwdriver through the little hole in the base of the armrest. That way, by pulling the panel upwards, away from the door, the outside clips released without needing to be levered. I thought the same would apply to the front but there seems to be something within the armrest that is stopping it from lifting away from the door.

hope this helps

Cleave618,

Just gentley ease around the edge, there are 2 clips against the door card which are the difficult ones.I did mine about 3weeks ago one of the pivots on the drivers door switch had broken and the switch would not pivot.Easy to fit just unplug.
