Window Switch Removal

Have any of you removed an individual window switch from the driver's door panel? This is on 2015 EX.

I can remove the entire assembly, with the four switches, door lock switch, etc., but I don't see an obvious way to remove individual switches. There is a little tab on each side of the housing, but pushing in doesn't do anything. I know that I could easily break it by applying too much pressure where it doesn't belong, so I'd rather not use the trial and error method.

EDIT: Forget it! The window switches for the front are one solid unit. My goal was to remove the passenger's switch and replace it with an Auto switch, like the one for the driver's window. The 2020 Civic has Auto for both front windows, but I doubt the same panel would fit a Fit.

It's not unusual for the mfg to do that. Porsche Turbo: To replace the front rocker switch that operates the trunk requires that I replace the entire assy, including the rear rocker switch that operates the engine lid. You see the orange sticker? It is to remind me to hold that section down before lifting the switch. The pivot for that switch snapped.

Yep! Need one - buy two. I wonder if the Civic switch would fit. It probably costs $500.00. : )
