Re: window switch problems

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxx>]

Easy - Buy a new switch. Nice reproductions are available and they 
work MUCH better than the originals. I know Houston has them not sure 
about the others. Very easy fix then, just pop the switch out, plug 
in the new one. It may help to stick your fingers in thru the ashtray 
opening to lift the switch out, although in many cars the switches 
are about falling out.
