Default Seat switch repair

Is there a way to take the seat switch apart to clean it? The rear down switch is not working. It worked intermittently when I bought the car 2 months ago but now it won't go down in the rear. I've taken the switch out but see that the large 3-way buton can't come off. You can't separate the two pieces until that button comes off. Any thoughts?

Ok - so it does come apart. There are 2 plastic tabs that will probably break when you take the back cover off. I'm ok with that as there are 8clips that actually hold the 2 pieces together - more than enough IMO. Anyways, I'll keep you posted of my adventure... and yes I'll get some pics...

Cleaned the square area that the screw driver is pointing to with an eraser. Cleaned up the board in general. Put it back together and works like a charm! I love diving into stuff! Plus I get to save $$!
