I tried this too - and works great. One tip though - the reverse order is NOT the same as disassembly - I put the switch in and tried to slide in the silver clips up from underneath (reverse of how I got them out).
However, what you actually need to do is put the silver clips back on the sides while the button is out of the car, and then drop the button in from the front face, and it will lock in place.
Also, I cleaned the blue contacts in the rubbery/silicone bit as well. seems to have worked well.
Unfortunately, I seem to have broken some of the clips on the 'surround' part - so take care pulling that bit out.
Thanks for posting guys, worked well form me. Thanks to @tigger73 for the great pics. A bit tricky pulling the switch apart but be patient. Used a couple of small screwdrivers to wedge between the tab and clip while working on the others. Also, put a hand towel around the gear shifter after removing the trims to prevent losing any bits in the abyss.
