Default windows safety switch not working?

Oh, well, maybe works too hard, lol. I can operate all windwos in driver seat.Rear windows are deactivatedand the satefyswitch indicates that.I canhold down the safety switch to allow operating the windows in rear seats. But as soon as the safety switch is released, the rear windows are again deactivated. Something wrong with how I operate the safety switch or the safety switch is bad? If the latter, anybody has any idea how to fix it? Thank you very much!

The switch is bad. You should be able to push it once to activate the rear windows. A second push should deactivate them. The light in the switch should go on and off to verify this.

Mine does the same thing and another guy with an A6 that I know is having the same problem. I'm going to have to buy a new switch. I'm wondering how much it's gonna be? Hopefully an easy replacement?
