Tony Daniel Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 This is for a 987 but 981 switches are also available on Ebay for under £20 delivered. Loosen 2 allen bolts is all that is require to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz05 Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 Very easy the panel just pulls up with a small plastic pry tool or similar it's held in with a couple of clips and then you can access the switches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodysnr Posted October 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 Thanks ..it is solid tried a CC to see if that would work ..i can see from the replacement pics that there are 4 clips holding it in position so will need to be lifted out straight as opposed to from one end or am I wrong ,what pry tool are you referring to .Watched your vid on washer replacement as that is the next on the list, they are £27 from OPC .

Just any plastic pry tool, try Amazon or use an old credit card to slide in where the clips are and pull up. Nice one, you need to pop along to VW or Audi and buy the washer replacements from them the Porsche ones are no use even new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodysnr Posted October 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 Following on it turns out you do not use a pry tool or CC to remove switch from sill cover you remove the sill plastic cover first like you do in the 987 vids going around but the 981 has to screws to remove just pries off ,once off remove switch from within the cover as there are 4 clips it is held in place with and you would never be able to do so without taking sill off first . thanks for all the help given maybe i was getting confused as to the order this was done in but makes sense now to me . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
