Hi the Passenger Side Power Windows Switch has fallen or sunken a bit. It still works but there is an obvious distance or gap between there the switch use to sit and where it sits now. I don't think the black plastic plate bis has moved so I assume the switch has somehow moved?

Any ideas on how to fix this? and if it is fixable by a non-mechanic ? :P

Thanks for your time

Really can not see how any of these would fix anything. If the switch has pushed in, take off the panel, it will lift off its clips, have a look to see if the switch panel's tabs have broken, if this is the case use some 5 min areldite to glue it back into place

OK thanks, Can I just place a screw driver under the plate to lift it off? or is there somewhere specific I should place the screw driver to best unclip the plate? Thanks

For anyone Interested, I just used a cloth to thinly wrap a flathead screw driver and then lifted the plate up slightly before pulling it up and off.
I found one of the clips is broken and hence why the switch falls down.

Looking into super gluing it now :)
