It would seem to me,though from your description that it IS possible to remove the copper strip which the first bit to bee seen under the plastic 'beauty' button.

I cant see how, and dont want to break it.

PD I hope to be onto refurbishing the clutch slave cylinder soon that we spoke about earlier in the year.....
The copper strip just sits loosely in the plastic frame that's the reason it can slip At least it does on my cars but, maybe the design changed over the 8 year age difference as I guess you have air bags etc. The strip is shown loose beside the plastic push in the righthand photo on p1 on this thread.

Magaged to fix the buttons today,finally.

The copper strip has been designed to be removed by a very thin blade, like a stanley knife blade. On the outer edge ther is a small and I do mean tiny small indent in the shape of the copper strip.If it is prised out with the knife blade it will unclip from its retaining plastic surround.

Separating this from the 6.3mm spade connector using needle nose pliers to stop the wire pulling through helps this.

On the back of the copper is a minute drop of solder which makes contact with the connector post inset in the plastic frame.This solder had crumbles away to almost nothing, so I added more. cleaned both parts before reassembling the switch and hey presto I have a working hon button again....

Seems like a slight design modification over the 8 years .... did you take any pics?

However, glad it still comes to pieces and you were able to fix it.
