Combination Switch

I need some help removing the combination switch cover for the head light stalk. There appears to be a screw holding the cover on. At first this looked like an allen head screw. However, I have tried an allen wrench, torx, flat and phillips head screw driver. After looking where the screw should be it appears there is not one located there. If I compare it to the wiper stalk the condition appears to be the same (as if there is no screw). I tried pulling the cover off (at all three positions), but the cover won't move. If anybody has done this before and can offer some feed back I would appreciate it.

Remove the steering wheel and steering wheel surround. The wiper stalk and headlight stalk are one component that come off the steering column. I replaced mine with new a few years back, don't remember it being that tricky to remove.

Now, taking it apart to clean the contacts, that could be a pain.

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping to be able to clean the contacts without replacing the switch, but it looks like I'll replace the switch. Thanks again.
