First it took apart the broken switch with cruise cause I needed the pin with the tab.
Note. You will have to drill out the rivits carefully.There are 2 other pins that each have tabs which can be used to make the same pin/tab combo. So 1 broken cruise switch can be used to modify 3 euro's.

You will have to remove the wire with a solder gun. Carefully use a Dremel to cut the bent metal piece out of the way in the channel the wire will follow up to & to also make a indentation so the tab will be flush with the plastic.
