Window switch replacement simple?

I'm trying to fix the little things on my new (to me) '06 A6 S-line. One of the things is the front passenger window lever (switch). It's really worn and I'd like to replace it. Does anyone know if it simply pops out? I don't want to mess it up.

I'm also ordering the center console (armrest) assembly (the latch is missing entirely), a dash trim piece, and the holder for the passenger side sun visor. (Are those things made cheap or what? It seems like a significant percentage of Audi's I looked at had those broken.)

The trim around the volume **** is really worn too, but I don't know how costly/easy that would be to replace, so I'll probably just let it go.

Thanks.

Re: the trim around the volume **** – are you speaking about the center console wood trim? If so, I just replaced mine and have the old part sitting here if you need that part. To remove the window switch, you have to remove the front door trim.

No, I meant the plastic directly adjacent to the ****.

I have to remove the entire door trim. Ugh. Not good.

Anyone has experience with removing the entire door trim? My front driver side window switch quit working on me, window motor def still works because I was able to shut all windows with my key in lock position. A while ago the switch would be back working after i smack the driver side door panel (just a lil bit).. but it has quit on me in the last 2 days.

Any info is appreciated!
