How to Replace the Window Switch on a Volkswagen Golf?

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Window switch

To replace the window switch on a Volkswagen Polo, remove the trim from the door handle to access the screws underneath. Once these screws are loosened, you can also loosen the screw at the bottom of the panel, completely detaching it from the door. After removing the panel, disconnect the connector from the switch and take it out of its housing in the centre of the panel. Once the switch is removed, insert the new one, connect it, and reinstall the panel.
