not your normal power window switch-button question
my power windows work fine, don't worry. my question is aesthetic... i'm taking my switches apart to paint them. i want to remove the switches you press so that i can just paint the casing. i've removed the wiring and everything... now i'm down to just the switches free-hanging loose in the casing. i don't want to break them messing around or have to cover them with tape to get a good paint on the casing so does anyone know how to remove them?

It should be pretty straight forward. I've got a dismantled one in front of me now. But it's been a while since I took it apart. I believe 2 screws hold the metal clips which hold the switch on the door panel. Those same 2 screws hold the top panel on the switch. Then there are 4 small screws that hold the circuit board in the switch casing. I've been told there is a difference between the S4 and S5 window switch internal mechanisms..but I'm not sure what those differences are.

Has anyone done this before or have any additional information?
