Need help or suggestions on pwr window switch

I have a 87 TII. Power window switch will work sometimes. If I push it down then back up real quick it will rollup. Today when I got to work it just wouldn't rollup. It's gotta be the switch cause when I get it to contact it will rollup no problem.

Having SEARCHED I'm going to pull the switch apart and clean the contacts.

Does anybody have a how to or a writeup on how to do this. If not I guess I could make one with pics. ARE THERE ANY TIPS YOU GUYS CAN GIVE ME BEFORE I DIVE IN?

I've had issues with both of my switches. First, make sure the switch still feels normal. I had one that the plastic switch part actually broke, but the electrical was fine. I never found the problem with the other switch, I just found a replacement in a junk yard.

Clean all the contacts, on the switch and on the plug. If you can't track it down just find a replacement in a junk yard.
