How do I remove the push buttons and switches to the rear interior light switch?
I have the rails removed but am now stuck.

thank you

Got it.
With the switch upside down and in the turned off position, push one of the legs down of the button you press to turn the light on and off. This may pop off easily or need a bit more of a firm push.

The switch is not so easy to remove. You need to push this very firmly upwards(towards the roof of the car), it will pop out. It clicks into place but there is almost no room down the side of the switch to push anything in to disengage the lugs.

I will now try to remove switches and rails from a damaged light and transfer to this one as it has it's lugs. I will also try to add some strength to the lugs to stop them breaking
