Default Window switch replacement

Drivers door window switch (raises and lowers passenger window) not working. The passenger switch raises and lowers it just fine, so I'm guessing it's the drivers switch. Any idea as to how to remove it? Just pry the bezel up?
TIA,
Tim

4 tapered lock tabs on the switch makes it look like switch comes out through the bottom. So you have to remove the door panel.

Mine is working off and on, on the drivers side door. Anyone else?

I'm experiencing the same issue with the passenger window going down but not back up. Also the switch in the passenger door will raise the window but not lower it. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

Almost every time I've had this issue, it has not been a switch problem, but instead, the wiring harness into the door has been the issue.

Opening/closing of the door and the resulting movement of the harness caused some of the wires in the harness to break.

I've not had the problem with the Corvette, but with other vehicles I've owned or that my kids owned.
