Help replacing window lock switch panel I am going to be replacing my driver side panel on a 1998 z28 where the mirror and window controls are because the clips broke. I have the window controls detached from the panel but i cant figure out how the mirror and door lock controls detach from the panel. Anyone familiar on how to get all the controls off the panel? Appreciate any suggestions. Thank you

Hey:
A thin Wide tipped flat blade screwdriver, works pretty good.
If its the first time doing it, Disconnect the battery first.
Then pry the screwdriver down between the plug you want to remove and housing being careful not break the plastic switch housing, it may take a little force the first time.
repeat 2 x once for each plug. (window and locks)
As you pull out the switch you will notice a connector on the mirror pigtail about 3-4" down disconnect it and you should be free.
Thats it.
Also when reassembling spread the clips out a little to help them get a better grip as they tend to break on the switch housing side where they slide in.
Hope this helps
