How to Remove a Power Window Switch on a '99 Malibu

In 1997, Chevrolet reintroduced the Malibu to its lineup. The 1999 Malibu came standard with a 2.4-liter engine that cranked out 150 horsepower and had a 150- to 170-horsepower 3.1-liter V-6 available. The 1999 Malibu also had optional power locks and power windows available. A switch on each door powers that door's window and the driver's door has a main switch that powers all four windows. Replacing the switch on any of the four doors is the same process.
