## Description

Window Switch

Review: Great value, works great - Great value for this replacement switch assembly. Worked perfectly in my 2013 Jetta SE Sedan. As noted by others, this switch does NOT Have the chrome accents, but I don't care. Installation is VERY easy - remove the trim there with a spudger, starting at the bottom, then work your way up. At the top is a "hook" into the arm rest, so that needs to be tipped up to come out. Remove the connector (you need to push on the retainer hard, so you may want to use a screwdriver for that - mine was orange colored, but I've seen YT videos with green instead. Once pushed back, the connector comes out easily. I connected the new switch electrically first, to make sure it fixed my issue, and it did. My original problem was that the auto up/down wouldn't work anymore on the driver window. And just yesterday, it stopped working on the driver window at all. The new switch worked perfectly out of the box, as well as restoring the auto up/down on that window. The harder part is getting the old switch out of the trim - there are 3 holes on each side, and you need to separate that part of the trim so that the switch assembly can pull out, so it's a little tricky to do without breaking it... but it comes out easily (even after 10+ years of grit and grime on mine). Once out, I washed the trim piece in the sink, and then installed this new one by just snapping it into place. Then put the trim back on the car and you're done. Took 15 minutes only because I was being extra careful with the trim. Excellent product, works great, low cost, and VERY easy install!
Review: Fits and Works Perfectly - I purchased a used 2014 VW Tiguan after my car was totaled in an accidnet and I found out the master window switch needed to be replaced. My mechanic was going to charge me $250 to do it, but i found out the actual part was available on desertcart for only $15. So I purchased the master window switch on desertcart and a friend said he would install it for $45. And it works perfectly! There are a couple of videos on YouTube that show you, step-by-step on how to do it. All you have to do is remove the inside door panel to replace the master switch and no special tools are needed. Do ti yourself and save your money.
