Expand for Full Description and Links: Is your window switch not working? Broken or worn? These switches tend to get brittle with age and break or start to peel and fall apart. Here is a very short video showing the easiest way to remove the old drivers side window switch and replace it with a new one.

    Both switches for raising the rear windows on my C class broke (the car is 4 years old and has traveled 50k km / 31k miles), the authorized service gave me an offer for €230... I bought the original part for €53 and following yours video changed it in 3 minutes. Thank you - Authorized Mercedes service THIEVES

    Thanks for sharing this! Was able to replace the window switch unit on my 2018 GLC 300 in less than 15 min. It’s really ,really easy to perform this swap out. I am a Mercedes fanboy since my father’s 1971 200D /8, and have never seen any Mercedes part being as poorly designed as this unit. It’s a shame they do not replace this for free. My second car is now an Audi. Choose not to go for Mercedes this time. Between this and the ripped leather seat in a less than 6 year old car with little mileage, it’s just not justifiable to pay so much for what used to be a great quilt brand.

    This hw to video is a true lifesaver!! I just purchased my MB C300 and the driver/passenger switch broke immediately no more than 15mins after driving the vehicle of the lot. Thank goodness my dealership had no issues sourcing the part at no cost to myself. I had called MB to see about purchasing and they quoted me close to $400, NOT including labor 😱😱🤬🤬 Absolutely ridiculous!!!!! I knew it wasn't difficult to do and am looking forward to doing this myself..

    Thank you so much for posting this video. My window button broke last week while on vacation. I took it to the local dealer yesterday and they quoted me a total price of $577 to fix this problem. I was so annoyed. I told the service advisor that I could do it myself because I watch KZread videos. He said, “go ahead and try but come back and we will reset the windows if needed, but we will still have to charge you the price for labor to reset the window.” The switch itself cost $232., the labor $345. I immediately ordered the part and tools on Amazon, and I watched your video over and over. I just got the parts and installed it exactly as you did. It works and I don’t have to reset the windows. I would’ve reset them myself anyways. I hate that Mercedes Benz charges for such an important safety component of the vehicle. If this happens so often, it should be an automatic free change, as if it were recalled. I don’t understand how this is not changed for free or at least at a reasonable cost. Thanks again 😊

    This is a very useful video. Thank you so much for that. I got the switch for a c200 and prying tools from Amazon, and in ~10 minutes, it's done. It was very satisfying. Getting the switch and the prying tools for the C200 in India wasn't easy. It took time to arrive; however, the switch is very good. The prying tools weren't as effective after the first replacement. They almost failed me when I tried to use them again for the passenger side door's single switch.

I didn't remove the silver bezel which saved me some time. You saved me hundreds of dollars (Mercedes dealership charges C$200/hr for labor these days). Didn't have to reset the window and auto up/down functions worked right away.
