seat switch

[paulw]

Hi. im trying to replace the seat power switch on my Z3. I have the seat out the plastic trim removed and the switch back removed . I have a new switch unit ordered and arriving . what I can't seem to do is remove the rectangle switch base from the plastic cover . it should be easy . I don't want to force it as if I break the plastic trim I won't be able to fit the new switch. can't find anything on this . photos attached

ok problem solved, need 2 small flat screwdrivers one each side, push both and the unit slides about 2mm forward and the switch is free. pictures will explain better than words

Yes they do like to make you think for your living. I'm sure BMW employed a team of puzzle designers for some of the switchgear. A lot of it is wildly over complex to get apart.
