.... Can someone point me to the link - I can't see it on P-Car

I have a bunch of these switches that need fixing.

Thanks in advance

If you are just replacing the switch it's a no-brainer.....pry out the old one (I use a plastic putty knife that won't damage either the switch or the door panel) unclip the ledes and reinsert the new one. Use gently so as not to snap off the new one just like you did the old.

Some people have drilled out the switch and inserted a metal rod to replace the plastic fulcrum....but again, it's pretty self explanatory.

You want to check inside the DIYs and "How To" Archive for window switch repair: 10 minutes, and $0 - Amen!.

Take the switch apart, if the hinge peg isn't broken you can futz with it to get it back to proper working order. I did this after a valet operated the window by pulling down and over simultaneously. I took it apart, realigned everything and snapped it back together.

Didn't know you could even fix these things ...cool! I just replaced one (my 3rd in a few years) at $36. Had I known, I would have gone at it to save the dough. Cool tip.

Happy to return the favor.

Yes, thanks for the tip! I also replaced one but did not try to fix it (which is unusual!)..

Cheers,

I was able to fix my switch using the DIY write-up ..however I did a couples things differently. I heated a paper clip with a cigarette lighter which made it real easy to insert it as oppose to drilling into the switch. Also instead of prying the toggle apart from the housing with the screw driver, I took the switch apart ..removing A from B( in the photo)..this made it real easy..
