Hello
I need to know how to remove the dash cluster panel to repair the rear window defogger rocker switch. I see one screw underneath the cluster on the left and on the right. Taking those screws out did not release the cluster so I can get to the rear of the rocker switch. Two pictures are attached.
Thanks for your help.

We don't have anything specific to this vehicle but those bezel covers usually have a couple screws on the bottom of the outside bezel and usually snaps in at other areas. Pull on it gently to see where it's still being held.

It's also very possible that switch just snaps in.

Thanks Hammer.
I was able to pull the switch casing out from the front with a very thin flat screwdriver. Then I unplugged it from the wiring harness and disassembled the rocker switch and noticed the tiny copper contact and the tiny spring and plastic plunger would not mate and slide properly in the rocker way. I applied a small amount of dielectric grease in the area and reassembled everything and the switch has its rocker function again and the rear defogger turns off an on properly.
