    Default Power Windows + Spilt Drink = .......

    Hi guys,
    a ******** mate spilled his milkshake in my car today (last time i ever let someone have anything in my car!) and even though only a tiny bit spilled onto my power window buttons, the front passenger one will now not go down (up is fine). I know that I have to take everything apart and give it a good clean for starters (new car too, god knows what I'll find) but any advice on taking it apart the easiest way would be much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Adz

    Its easy as to get the window switch out, Just use a small screwdriver to pry under the lip of the window switch and pry up all the way around and it will pop up.

    Un-plug the loom from the back and the remove outer case by releasing the 4 clips on front and back to let the black surround slide up and should expose the 4 switches.

    Clean as per needed

    You will be able to pop each switch rocker up and remove carefully and clean contacts then put back together as it came apart.. Just do each switch one at a time other wise you will end up with too many bits out
