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.
