It's 2019 and this thread is still worth it's weight in Gold..
Went to the Dealership... A day later and came away with a quote of $198 for the switch and an estimated $498 for labor....
Ordered the part from Amazon for $82 and I tackled the project myself.. Winner Winner chicken dinner..
Oh and a bonus.. .Found the Key Fob I had lost a year ago when I moved the seat.. .
Thanks to all for the write-ups and great advice..

I removed it yesterday. Pair of needle nose pliers coming in from the top, grab the c clip holding the rear adjustment lever in, and pull up. Then, one long phillips screw at the front of the switch/bezel assembly. One more short phillips screw by the rear adjustment lever and then it should come out.

Good job.
I got the switch and the bezel new from eBay, for a total of $50. Works and looks great so far!
