Default '87 Power Window Switch Removal

DS Window stuck in down position on very recently purchased '87. Switch has been loose, had to apply pressure to button/jiggle to make work now won't work at all. I intend on ordering new along with some other parts but for now I thought I would swap PS with DS to be able to close window. I removed screws from console cover, lifted and removed screws from switch. This is where I have problem: Switch lifts up but will not come out. Am I missing a clip or something? HELP!


Thanx,
-Pete.

I found that the window switches are generic and that NAPA stocks them. Should be able to take the old one in and get a new one immediatly for less than at a dealer.
