This needs clarifying but I think the switches on the console may be different to those in the rear doors. Do you have the correct ones??? Just a thought.

im guessing the two centre ones are for illumination
the top ones for UP
the bottom ones for DOWN
multi meter them to find out
VAG switch contacts have numbers next to them

Just looking at the diagram below:
http://www.zen62266.zen.co.uk/images/golf/elwindows.jpg
This is exactly the same layout as the switch I have. It looks like the diagram shows ground going to the 2 centre pins - have I rad this right?
If so, I only have one ground wire from the VAG switches (And therefore a spare live as the vag uses 3), so do I just split the one ground into 2?

Just for your info folks,
The switches work wired as the piccy, just need to split a ground into 2.
and leave one live unused.
