    How to remove 69 windshield washer push button

    I'm working on restoring the dash components on my 69 L46 convertible. The wiper push/slide button/switch is attached to the bezel with a shaft through the bezel and a plastic button pressed on the switch shaft. I want to remove the switch so I can paint it and can't get the button off the switch assembly. Anyone have a trick for how to do this without ruining the plastic button?

    Thanks,
    Rich

    Pull. If you have to, use a flat blade screw driver to wedge it off. Be careful, the screwdriver blade will gouge the plastic. Just a good pull usually gets them off.

      got it off. I didn't want to damage the switch by putting too much pressure on it. But with Gary's encouragement, I held onto the bar that holds the button to the switch with a pair plyers, then applied a bit of pressure on the button with a screwdriver, between the bezel and the button. Came right off.

      Thanks Gary!
