Interior window switches removal

How are the window switches removed ??
I don't want to go tugging at them and break something. Also how is the gear surround removed.

First of buy some trim tools!

The window switch & surrounds come off easy just prise up one of the edges with a plastic spatular or trim tool!

The gear surround is similar but no tools are needed. Just pinch the Leather gaiter either side with your fingers and thumbs and give it a good tug vertical the gaiter and surround will pop off as a whole, if the gaiter just comes off then just give the surround another tug ... Simples :)
