Cheapo Window Switches - Giving Them a Shot
I am pretty much at my wits end taking apart switches and grinding plastic off that keeps blocking the contacts from touching. Given that my passenger window switch has kicked the bucket officially, and there is no more plastic to grind, I figure why the hell not try some cheapo ebay switches that are probably from China and see how they work for a while.

Once they come in, I'll post more on how they function. Can't be worse than having to take a switch apart to fix it everytime I drive my car to get the windows down so it doesn't smell like used gym T-shirts inside the car.

We sell the good OEM switches for $33 each - never had an issue with them.
Even Porsche is only $66.

Hey Roger, if the switches break, I'll be putting an order in for REAL SWITCHES through you. I figure I'd fudge around with these for the moment until destruction due to wear and tear, heat, misuse, acts of God, Chinese quality, or hanky panky on the console.

I've replaced a too many of these cheap window switches it's not even amusing. Tried a set in my own car a couple years back and one didn't work unless you pressed ultra hard and the other wore out in a month.
Don't toss your money away.
