I pulled this off of rentech....

To get to the switch you will need to remove the latch plate from the center of the windshield. To do this remove the sensor "eyes" by gently prying them off with your finger nail or a small flat screw driver. There will be a torx bolt inside each. Remove them then carfully lower the latch plate so that you can get to the wires for the switch and for the light. Remove the wires and then the latch plate is free. There are 2 retaining clips that hold the switch to the back of the latch plate. Use a pair of needle nose pliers and gently remove them. If your careful they can be reused. You will just need to flatten out the cross sections in the center of the clips. If you do break them I beleive the part number is
999 507 534 02, atleast it is for my 99, and they are not expensive.

Now....instead of pulling the retaining clips off as indicated above, just slide them down tight. If they are really loose you can pull them off and flatten out then put them back on as described above.
