I just picked up 2 switches from performance products for $24 U.S. each. They are running a 20% off sale but with shipping it pretty much brings you back to the full $29 price

Bring the broken window switch back to your Porsche dealer and get a FREE replacement. All Porsche parts come with a 2-year warranty.

Plastic bit broken which holds the white plastic nipples in place. I'm going to glue this back together. If it doesn't work I'll order another switch and keep this one for spare parts

This DIY may not be for everyone as some may prefer just to shell out the $$$ for a new switch but it was a quick fix for me as I live 1 hour from my Porsche parts supplier
