Default '01 Cherokee Front Right Window Switch

how do you take this thing apart? the window switch won't roll down the window from the passenger side but the door lock works. I'm thinking it's a dirty contact or something but I can't get the thing apart. it seems like there is a hidden screw holding it together. I have pried all the little clip things up and it still won't come apart. any ideas?

I did this too and it works. I strongly suggest using wire and wire taps as opposed to a paper clip though.

I think that it is 18g, but I used a short piece of 16g just to be safe. Either is better than a paper clip.

Definitely use the paper clip lock bypass mod. If you still want to know how to remove your door in the future though just remember to remove the 2-3 screws one the door handle and arm rest handle part.
