How to Remove the Window Switch Panel from a Volkswagen Tiguan

Model: Volkswagen Tiguan BW, MK 2, AD - Years 2016-2025
Part: Window switch

To remove the window switch from the Volkswagen Tiguan, use a plastic spatula; this will ensure that you do not damage any part of the vehicle, unlike a metal one as shown in the video. Use the spatula to pry the switch panel from its housing without damaging it, taking care of the side clips that hold it in place. Once removed from its housing, disconnect the electrical connectors of the window controls and fully free the switch panel for inspection as needed.
