I beleive to remove your wooden console to gain access to the switches, you must first remove the ashtray insert, then remove the two black phillips screws that will allow you to take out the ashtray assembly.

From there if the wood will raise up easily, you must slide it backwards so the rear can become unhooked underneath. If this is successful, you should be able to raise the wood enough to systematically disconnect all the switch connectors and pull the wood and switches away. Often, turning the key to the position that enables the shifter to move out of park helps.

Push the switch bodies out from underneath. I beleive there are little clips and each end of the switch bodies.

Mercedes window switches rarely ever wear out! 99 times out of 100 they are simply full of junk. I have taken the switches apart many times and it is easy as long as you take your time and use a soft towel underneath your work. They have tiny little ball bearings and springs that can fly away faster than you might imagine.

The rocker portion is held on by its pivot. Gently pry each side off. (This is where you will most need the towel to catch the little springs and the ball bearings)

Clean everything well, spray a little shot of WD40 into the rocker area (conducts electricity) and assemble.

I would do all of the window switches since you are in there.
