Remove some parts for deep cleaning.
Hi friends,
i would like to make a deep cleaning of some parts very difficult to be cleaned.
The problem is that I do not know how to remove them, please can someone provide me a step by step guide (with pictures?)
the parts are:
1) Central steering wheel cup (the round one with jag logo on it).
2) Driver side windows switches.
3) Armrest... in this the problem is that the push down button I use to open it is very hard to be pressed and comes back to original position in more than one minute. I suppose it is a problem of dust or something like this so I need to remove the armrest and unmount the chromed button to clean it completely.
Thnaks a lot to all of you.
Sandro

If your center armrest doesn't stay closed, it's an easy DIY fix. See my 2/28/2017 thread:

Don't use any lubricant, as dust will stick to it and will cause the latch to get stuck again. Use a can of compressed air similar to this:

I really would NOT remove any of that for cleaning. A small brush/tooth brush and some cleaner should be able to get it clean if that's possible.
As you found out there is a very big danger of making things worse and to create expensive broken parts.
If in doubt take to a detailer and get his suggestion.
