So easy to remove and install Mercedes window switches/buttons!

[@TheFlexxGarage]

NOTICE: I didn’t leave a link to where to buy because I don’t know. I bought mine from a guy on eBay that only had 1 used button. You will have to do your own search. There's alot out there but I'm not sure which one will fit or not because of mixed reviews by people. FOLLOW ME!!!

I just did a quick search on ebay the make model and year of my car and found a pair easily. I didn't expect it to be this easy to replace, thanks to your video.

[@robertvankins3042]

I bouth an comlete unit, en demount the buttons as you shown. And also mount the button ans you shown. 2 minutes work. Thank you for the tip! Total cost 39 euro!

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Nice!

[@karlieparker9770]

OMG I was shooing 2 flailing flies out of my driver's side window and the button injected crooked and got stuck and then I was being seriously violated by the whole fly-fam...untilllll I found your video (right away!) and happened to have a life-saving screwdriver in my car and was able to pop the button all the way out with your guidance WITHOUT breaking the little locking tabs, and replace it...all of this was done in probably less than 1 minute. No exaggeration. Well done, sir.

[@melindabreslin9801]

THANK YOU! We purchased a used GLK350 that has this issue. Buttons seem to be pretty available on Ebay. Some local dealerships will sell directly to consumers as well. We have two new switches coming and they both came from Ebay. It looks like I can replace them pretty easily! Thanks!

I did this same thing but my window won’t go up it’s not catching the little tab idk if it’s the button or what

Thank you for this! You are so right - they really make the interior look crappy. Glad it is an easy fix!

[@StoneFree-rr8cu]

BE CAREFUL people! this is not as easy as this dude made it look, the pieces that hold the buttons are very fragile to the point that I broke two doing exactly what he indicates. I almost had to replace the whole piece!

[@Dre_98]

Was thinking the same tbh. Definitely not as easy as he shows. I spent 30 mins trying to take just ONE button off and I still can’t take it off and replace it. It’s been a few days now lol.

What exactly are the buttons called? Im looking to replace and i keep seeing caps with adhesive on the back. Description has "switch, button, and sticker" in it for the one i found but it is not the correct one

[@Allthatinterestsme]

How about the lock buttons? How do you replace them?

[@keithh3099]

Hey Flexx , Wow I watched your video a while back. And it just so happens on my c450 2016 my drivers side broken (plastic) I see how you just flipped it out and it seems so simple. My dealer quoted $184 plus 2 hours labor. Something about taking the whole door panel off. I’ll do some checking and see if I can do the same as that would save me huge $. Yeah just now thinking about it yeah one side it probably broken and not attached or clipped on so that makes a lot of sense.. I’ll let you know🤙thanks And to the other comment down below: of course you have to be careful that’s a prerequisite to taking anything apart.. And if you break a couple buttons that’s OK at least you didn’t have to spend mega bucks at the dealership and it’s a learning experience for you so there you go thanks again Flexx Well today I got my four buttons in from eBay they came with the little springs and a little pins all four of them they look pretty good you know it’s cheap anyway plastic you know like you said they do flake after a while but mine just broke off but anyway I tried to put them in and I got my window to go down but I couldn’t to get it go up so I don’t know what I did wrong I did it several times and boy those buttons aren’t easy to pop off as yours. My C450 Is a little bit different I suppose but yeah trying to put a little screwdriver underneath there and pop it up then I was on it it popped up and it was gone it went to the moon so I’ll try another one because the spring went to somewhere those things are a little you can’t find them so I try another one Needless to say I ran through all four buttons scratched a few up real bad trying to pop those things off trying to figure out why my window won’t have that tension in it I guess that little pin was vertical instead of horizontal so I tried it horizontal and snap it started working but I spoke too soon I flip the button it went all the way to the top and the window came back down about quarter away push the button back up it went up hit the top and it slid back down 3/4 away. So I had to hold the button up then the window stayed so I guess it ain’t working for me I don’t know what to do I guess I have to order one from a dealer $173 from the dealership and that’s plus labor I don’t think I want to try to take the door panel off and ruin something else but it was a good experience for 35 bucks . So anyway thanks

Hi , How to change the buttons on the steering wheel?

[@luisavilez8842]

Did not worked for me, I could replace one and the 2nd something broke so now I have to replace the whole master switch

[@gossling77]

Can You change the lock/unlock buttons the same way? Mines father is peeling and wanted to know aswell

[@johnno_oz5587]

10/10 protip. Saved me pulling off the door panel and swapping out modules. I'd already bought a full non OEM switch module......so just swapped the buttons. Buttons are all a different shape on the C300.

[@markh3478]

Bought mine on ebay , too . Not sure it matters but I have the 2 door coupe which took a while to find a seller that could verify the buttons fit the 2 door coupe . Used an automotive flat blade trim tool to remove the button since I don't have the skills to prevent marring the surround if I use a metal screwdriver . By the way - great video

[@r.s.t.-Russia]

how do you replace different color bulbs on buttons - lets say that original solar/orange to something like blue?

[@Intechdude300]

It’s actually not that difficult to acquire those buttons. I had already ordered a $16 Chinese knockoff master window switch off eBay. Had no desire of removing the entire door panel. Saw how easy it was to remove the buttons with this video. The buttons from the knockoff switch fitted perfectly into the original.

[@curtisfultz4394]

Great stuff as always bro. Hey off topic... The brakes on my wife's '13 C250 got super hard to press one day, she was lucky the interstate was clear when they failed. I'm suspecting a failed brake booster from research and trial (pump brakes while car is off, hold pedal down while starting car, the brake pedal should drop down at ease if booster is working). Anyhow, I followed the vacuum hose to the rear of the engine and found a little bit of play at the connector. Do you know if that's normal, if not, would you mind checking on either of yours and let me know? I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm surprised her C250 is having brake issues, never had any issues with any previously owned MBs.

Yes it’s easy though. Just pulling the button all the way up or a certain way, twice or something super simple like that . I did it by accident and then did it again and fixed the issue

[@Delanerz]

How about interior driver door handle?

[@elle7037]

Yes, a huge problem for c300 2010 and up but the identical looking 2009 requires some latch component to be changed inside the door panel. For us lucky 2010+ models, the whole interior door panel would need to be changed because the latch was cleverly upgraded to be connected and intertwined into the whole door somehow.

I wasn't sure about one that I saw, honestly I was nervous about taking it myself, was worried about breaking anything els, this video is much simpler to watch and it confirms that it will work on any model. I do have one more button to fix and that one will be tough cause don't thing it's replaceable. I have the open and lock door switch in that same condition, ugly as hell.
