2010 C70 window switches???

tullyman · Nov 11th, 2015, 17:37

The front passenger side electric window switch on my 2010 C70 is faulty, I have bought a replacement but I'm unsure how to proceed;

Can I remove the small panel on the door containing the afore mentioned switch on its own or does the entire inner door card have to come off, and does that bring me into 'contact' with any airbags???

Any advice would be most appreciated.

I did the window winder cables in my driver's door earlier this year - 2008 C70. I found the switch very hard to remove from the door card, and that was with the door card on my hall floor. It felt very close to breaking, but eventually popped. If you don't remove the door card, you may end up marking the leather (or leather look alike) around the switch. And you need to disconnect the battery before removing the door card because of the airbag. Without a copy of VIDA I wouldn't have known what to force and what not to, so probably worth getting a VIDA disc off ebay - only a few quid.

If it's just the switch a simple trim removal tool or bone tool, or a butter knife with a cloth wrapped round it will pop the handle off where the switch is located,

there is an inner piece where the grip is, once this is removed the whole thing pops up, the switches are held in with 2-4 torx screws (T10 I think)
