Replacing the Window Switch on Skoda Octavia

Model: Skoda Octavia MK 2, 1Z - Years 2004-2012
Part: Window switch

Today, you will learn a very simple operation: replacing the window switch on the Skoda Octavia 2. Using a small flat screwdriver or a plastic wedge, pry behind this area to remove it from the housing. Once done, to remove the internal switch from the plastic, you need to pry again in the gaps with a flat screwdriver. As you can see in the video, this is the most complex part of this small maintenance task due to the shape of the switch. Work slowly and patiently at this stage, then mount the new switch by reversing the process.
