Removing/Replacing rear window switch 200 1989

Can you do it the same way like the front master switch where you use a flathead screwdriver and just pry it out? Both my rear windows have always been closed and neither the master switch nor the rear individual switches have been able to make the windows operable. I'm thinking either the switches for the rear on the master are bad or the rear switches themselves are bad or both. I scoured ebay and scored a deal on a master switch. I had originally planned to use two of the switches from the new master to replace the two rear switches. Well, when the master came, it looked too nice to play around, so I decided to switch out my old master for this newer one. I tested out the rear windows. Wow! for the first time in owning this car the rear passenger-side window came down, then went up! At one point it got stuck in the down position and would only go down but not up. I played with the switch and it operated normally. I also tested the rear switch itself. The only window that isn't operating is the rear driver-side window. The seller of the master said all the switches work and have been tested. I'm thinking that the problem lies in the single switch on the rear driver-side door. Can a bad switch make a window inoperable despite the master switch controlling it works? If that is the case, then I can just swap out the rear single switch. How do I go about doing that? Do I have to take out the two plastic screw covers and unscrew the little armrest? Or can I pry the switch out with a flathead? The rear switch looks like it is seated on top of the armrest unlike the master, which is snugly seated in a recess of the armrest. Thanks.
