Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks!
In this video, we're going to show you how to remove and reinstall the rear passenger window switch. We do it on the right hand or passenger side. It's the same for the left hand driver side as well. This is a 2007 Audi A4. This procedure's the same for A4s from 2004 to 2009. Items you'll need are a Phillips screwdriver, T20 Torx driver, and a small flat blade screwdriver.
Disconnect your battery. On this car there should be a panel on top that you take off a couple of fasteners and lift it up and off. Then a 10mm wrench, loosen and remove the battery cable.
Either use a flat blade screwdriver, or you can just kind of reach back here and pull this trim panel off. Just pull it straight out and work your fingers under, and then it comes forward at the back. Four screws hold it in. There's one up under here and then one here, here, and here. A Phillips screwdriver will remove those. It's a little difficult. Sometimes you just have to feel for the screw once you have the right angle. There it is. We'll just fast-forward as we remove those fasteners.
Then just reach underneath. This ones not even clipped in. You should reach underneath and pull and they'll pop out, but obviously this door panels been off before so it just comes off. There are clips at the top. Then you should just be able to pull it right up and off.
Pull the door panel out and then your door handle cable here, just pull it out of the clip. Then, just unhook it. On the speaker, there's two tabs that you push in. Then, on this, there's a tab on the back side that you have to push really firm with your finger and pull down. You want to disconnect the switch and then remove the nine T20 screws that hold the arm rest in place. Press the tab and just pull out. We'll just fast-forward as we remove those fasteners. Just lift up and take your arm rest out.
Remove the switch. Four tabs hold it in. I'm going to apply pressure this way and then work my screwdriver in the back here and try and - oh, it just came right out. That's not a big deal. The amount of pressure and it popped out and actually goes this way. This is the old switch anyways. It would still work if it needed to.
On the left is the old switch, the original switch from the vehicle. On the right is the new switch from 1A Auto. You can see they're pretty much the same. They will install, or the switch will install and function just as the same as the original.
The new switch looks like it will go right in to place. It does. Put your arm rest back in place and then re-install the nine T20 screws. We'll just fast-forward as we tighten up those fasteners. Re-connect your window harness. Put it in place.
Re-installation: reconnect your speaker harness, the module harness. Again, that clip goes towards the back. Bring the panel up, reconnect the door latch cable. Just hook it in and then push this in to place. This protrusion on the door panel goes into this grove, and then this hooks over there so just lift the panel up into place. Hook the front in. Push it against the window and down, and then lock these two top hooks in and then all the rest of the clips.
Then you've got to try and put it up in there in the right angle. Then hopefully you find the hole the first time. Then this hooks into the back. Just make sure all your clips are in place. Sometimes these will pull out. Sometimes they'll pull out and get stuck on the clip. Just pull it off the clip and push it back into the door. Clip that in place. Peek in behind. Make sure they're all going into the right hole.
Reconnect your battery. Tighten it up with a 10mm wrench, and then reinstall the panel that should be there.

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the power window switch. We're going to be working on the front driver's door on this 2007 Audi A4, same for any '05 to '08 A4, and the switch is the same for other models but the procedure may be a little bit different. For this, you'll need a new switch from 1AAuto.com, a flat blade screwdriver both regular and small, Phillips screwdriver, T20 Torx driver, and, depending on the condition of your panel, you might need some pliers, glue, hammer, and a flashlight, and you'll see how we use those in the video.
There should be a panel covering your battery. Remove that, and then disconnect the negative terminal on your battery.
Remove the trim panel using your flat blade screwdriver. Then locate the six Phillips head screws that hold the door panel on. There's one underneath the panel, four behind the trim panel you removed, and one underneath the arm rest. There should be a cap that you pry off to access the screw. Remove the six screws using your Phillips head screwdriver. The bottom screw sometimes doesn't come out. You can still remove the panel without taking it out.
Now, unclip the panel. Sometimes plastic clips may come loose and fall out. We'll show you what to do with those later. Carefully pull the panel up and off, remove the door handle cable, and then use your flathead screwdriver to loosen and remove the harness from the window motor. Finally, remove the speaker harness from the speaker.
If the screw on the bottom of the panel didn't come out, use a pair of pliers to remove it. You might need to use a hammer to tap the clip back into the door. You might also want to glue in any clips that fell out during the panel removal.
On the back of the door panel, you'll want to unplug your power window switch. There's just a little tab that you press and pull that out, and then nine T20 Torx screws hold the arm rest in place. Now you can remove that arm rest and flip it upside down, and you can see the switch very easily. Four tabs hold the switch in place. You want to work a small screwdriver in there very carefully, don't pry too much. Just pry just enough to come up and out and remove the switch.
On the left is the old switch and on the right is the new one from 1AAuto.com, which will fit just like the original. Push the new switch into place. Put the arm rest back in place on the door panel and then turn around onto the back side, and we'll fast-forward here as we just put those nine screws back in and tighten them up. Reconnect the harness.
Reinstall the speaker wire harness and the power window harness, and reattach the door handle cable. Make sure the lip of the door panel sits inside the groove of the door. Push the panel down firmly, and then lock all other clips back into place. Reinstall the six Phillips head screws. Finally, clip the trim piece back into place. You can now reconnect your battery and replace the panel.

In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the master power window switch on this 2007 Audi A4. The only tools you'll need include a new switch from 1aauto.com, a flat blade screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, a T20 Torx bit, and you also need a small flat blade screwdriver.
We're going to start with the basic flat-blade screwdriver. Right underneath the door pull unit right here there's a little plastic cap. Buried inside here are actually two Phillips head screws. We're going to go ahead and remove those two. To remove this upper trim bezel right here just apply your flat head screwdriver to the front side, gently pry outward, gently grab it and pull away. Run your finger along the rail here, you're going to hear it popping. Then when you get to the very end section, don't pull outward, you want to pull it forward.
There's actually a little tab right here, so if you pull it outward you might break that. You don't want to have to go to Audi to replace that part. Along, behind here, you're going to see Phillips head screws. There's going to be four of them located here. Those four you want to take out next. Now that we have the main securing screws removed from the upper here and the door handle pull area, you want to grab the pocket right here and give it a gentle tug outward. You can see the door panel is now loose. Run your hands up and around the outer perimeter and gently tug upward. Once we pull upward and away you now have the door panel off.
If you look on the inside, there's a cable right here that actually attaches to your interior door handle release. It's simply just a plastic clip, and then there's just the metal hook on a cable, it just drops right out. The next thing we have is actually your harness right here. It's a little orange tab. As you can see, I'm gently pulling downward, and it actually pops the harness right out of the door for you. We have one door speaker control right here. There's two little tabs, I'll show with a screwdriver. There's one right here, it pushes inward. It's one right on the other side that pushes inward. You can pinch it with 2 fingers, wiggle it, pops right out. There you go.
On the backside of the door panel here, you're going to see a series of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 - there's 5 what we call Torx bits. It's actually what we call a T20 and it's actually a star pattern on this. It's not a standard Phillips head or flat head; it is specific. You need to use this here so you don't strip out the screw heads. We're going to go ahead and simply remove this here. The reason why we're doing this is is that you basically have to remove the front piece of the door panel to gain access to that master switch. In order to pull this off, there's actually three more on this end here because we have to remove the whole armrest. This is going to be more here.
We're going to flip the door panel over, and it's actually going to release the actual armrest here. We want to come on around, get this in a position where you can see this a little bit better. Now that we have the armrest removed, we're going to go ahead and disconnect the electrical connectors on the back side of the switches. You're going to get the tab right inside, and you're going to pull it toward you. You can see that spring action there. Pull it toward you and pull out. That came out fairly easy.
In this part you can use a small flat blade screwdriver or a 90 degree pick as shown. On the side, right here, you can see there's a little lock tab right there and one right here. What I'll do is I'm going apply a little bit of pressure here pushing that way, as I reach in here just gently pry this out and pull out. You're going to see the little lock tab pop out. Then you're going to come over here, do the same thing, pop, you can see it releases right there. You can go ahead and grab little connector and out comes your switch.
This is the little guy that we're going to be replacing right now. You can actually see here's the 1A Auto part, here's a factory Audi part and they virtually look identical. Switch them over, same connectors, same pin count. We're going to go ahead.
We're going to just reverse the procedure and then go ahead set this down inside. It really just snaps right into place. That's pretty simple. You're going to take this connector, run it right back up, only one way it can go, press it on in. You're going to hear it snap, click right into place, and that will be pretty steady.
We're going to go ahead and start the armrest replacement. Now that we get all that set, we're going to flip this back over. We have 11 of the Torx bit screws that need to go back into the armrest here, so there's a few here and there's a few over here. So let's go ahead and get that started for you. We want to go back and just reconnect.
You have your speaker harness right here. Just line it right up, clips right on. We're going to go ahead and connect this into the bottom of the module right here. Goes in. Press it up and in. This lever right here, once this connector is pushed in with your thumb, just push it over and it locks it into place right there.
Next is actually your door handle pull. Here's a hook. I'm going to go ahead and put that right into the islet, swing that around, and it'll pretty much line itself up, pops right in.
Next, we're going to go ahead and set the door panel up inside the cell. Pretty much lines itself right up. You can notice that the door is pulled away. It should pretty much line itself up. Give it a few bumps. Let's go ahead and get these screws put in. The 4 screws are all set up on top. Here's your upper trim bezel. So, basically, push that in and over, and that just snaps into place easy.
We're going to go down to the bottom. We have two screws in the bottom, and then we're going to put that trim piece on, right behind the door handle pull, and that will pretty much finish up the job for you.
Let's go ahead and get this installed. We're going to put an upper half. What you're going to see here, a little tab right here. This can be a little bugger to do, but once you get the upper half locked in, you can use your flat head screwdriver and gently push in on this tab and then push down with your fingers. That's it. We got the trim popped on, everything should be all set, window switch operates, and job's complete.
