Default Power window button partially popped out and loose

I noticed last night that on the drivers side power window cluster that the driver side rear seat window switch button is now loose and is partially popped out. I don't know how that happened unless it was the heat that caused it. It still lights up green when the lights are on but it does not respond well when trying to get the window back up anymore, my driver side window has had some issues rolling back up for years, sometimes I have to put it all the way down to get it to roll back up but it still works. The loose window button rolled the window down but was mostly not responsive when trying to get the window up, I was able to eventually get the window up after playing with it for a little while. Is there a way to fix this? I tried pushing it back in place but it does not seem to catch on anything to match the other switches and is still loose. I did not play with it too much, I just hope it is not something that I have to take the door all apart to fix or will cost a arm and leg to fix.

UDel,

I don't know the interior color of your car, but look this items # on eBay 400732662139, 322069914452, 262603449793, 322079754819 Those switch are not very expensive and very easy to change. Good luck

I'll check it out, interior is black, I have not had time to mess with it yet. I will have to look into how to get to those switches to replace them. It still lights up green which is odd and can still operate the window at times.

Its pretty basic to get the switches out. Just take the door panel off and you will see a couple of screws that hold it in place and a wiring harness. Those buttons usually pop in and out but maybe the plastic broke. Check the door lock actuator DIY if you need help removing the door panel
