mbokow: Thanks for the offer, but I need a fully functional swithblade. If I can find a new spring I would be interested. I'll let you know if I find one.

tafkai: No, I just need a new swithblade. If I get an offer for an extra I'll let you know.

Thanks,
Jeff

Call Jim Ellis Porsche in Atlanta and ask for Ryan in the service dept. About two weeks ago I traded in my switchblade for a fob type key. Its possible they kept the part (housing)as it was working fine. Use my name Jordan Frankel when you call.

Good luck

Jordan
