Ok the passenger window button is busted on the drivers side, so would i need to get a whole unit for the drivers side? or can you get a passenger side button?

The switches are individual in the panel. Just need to pop them out.

If your really really careful you won't. Just get something underneath the plastic surround and pop it up. Safer to remove the doorcard though.

yeah, easy job mate, just get some thin underneath it and quite strong n carefully prise it out. Like a steel rule or flat bladed screwdriver
