Default Drivers Window Switch

Our child control button stopped working on our 2001 A6 windows. So we'd like to replace the switch. I have the new switch, but need to know how to remove the old one - anyone care to help? I've seen reference to the small hole, but any picture of what I'm aiming for?

Default The hole is on the underside of the handle below the switch, hard to miss.

Place a small screwdriver, or anything that will fit up there, and you should be able to push the switch out.

we'll give it a shot and let you know. We were hoping for some type of clue what we are trying to reach - i.e. a plastic tab that could break, a metal clip.....

Default There is a plastic tab on the front of the switch...

You should be able to see this on the new switch you are putting in. I only found this out after I removed the switch the first time, so pushing it in is not required, though will make it slide out instead of "snap" out. I have a MY2000 and was not very gentle and nothing broke.

Default Ahhh..good news. I have same prob on 2000 4.2A6.

I didn't want to fool with it because I thought it was a full assembly. Now I'll get the switch.

Thanks! Took longer to get the switch unit out of it's decorative cover without breaking the old brittle plastic (it's a 2001 A6) but it's in and my friends now control their own wind - if I give them permission via the switch. Thanks.
