Video tutorial
Detailed instructions - Replacing the window switch on the Mercedes SL 500 R230 first requires purchasing the new part, which you can find on Amazon with the code B0FPQ6HK9Y for $25.00 plus $3.00 for shipping. Start by removing the plastic door panel: remove the Torx T15 screws (one at the top, one at the bottom). Carefully pry off the panel with a plastic tool. Inside, remove the support bracket with two Torx T20 screws and one additional small Torx T10 screw. Remove the bracket. Now, unscrew the three Torx screws that secure the handle with the switch. Pull out the handle and disconnect the electrical connector (cutting the ties if necessary). To remove the old switch from the handle, release the two side clips with needle-nose pliers. Insert the new switch (with its wiring) into the handle, reattach the clips, and reposition everything. Reconnect the wiring and secure it with new ties. Reassemble the bracket and the panel, tightening the screws. Then, test the operation of the window lifts.
