Thank you Plutoe for the file.
One thing puzzling me though, the round tabs that are on the back of the switch itself.
I thought there are screws that go in those tabs and hold the switch board in place inside the armrest.

I am also not sure about the shape of this clip remover. Checking it on the web, it costs near $200! I looked on the side of the switch board, cannot see where exactly the clip remover goes in order to remove the thing.





BTW, I am replacing my old switches with a new one. The window buttons are peeling.
