Power Window Switch
Looks like all the vendors have quite offering new power window switches. Does anybody know a source for these? Checked Zip, Paragon, LIC. If not how repairable are these? Doesnt really look like it is designed to come apart. Maybe that is just because someone kind of epoxy'd mine, not sure.
Thanks - Brian

Sorry, 63. I did get it apart though doing that broke the little metal clips because they were corroded and not flexible. I think I can fix it with some of the parts I see available. I will at least give it a try.

Never heard of these guys but your right they have it on there web site. If I cant get this one working I will give them a call. Mine is mostly fine but the little clips that hold it together are broken so I just have to figure out how to get it to hold together without doing to much of a bubba on it. Anyhow thanks.

Volunteer Vette doesn't have any either.
Call Wilcox, they told me they could repair them.

Probably $$$$$$$$. I would guess it's an expensive part to manufacture compared to the demand. Hopefully a vendor will step up and lay claim to being the only one that carries them. There must be a switch out there for another GM car that's close. My "Original Parts Group" catalog carries them for the Buick Riviera.

There are many aftermarket parts available like this:

Would hold you over till you find a repop or NOS part for a decent price.

I bought and installed a "GenuineGM" power window switch back in May of 2010. It was a good thing that I didn't put the console back in right away, since it shorted out on my first drive into town. I was able to unplug it right away. I opened it up and it was cheap offshore trash inside, not anyway near the construction of the old one I took out. Only one pin to align things. Producing and selling this junk should be a crime! So it is a good thing that it is off the market. I wonder if any cars have fried because of it?
My 66 could have burned and taken my house with it. I found two "old production" NOS switches on the bay and solved my problem. Since then I have kept an eye out for other NOS or good used parts that can be bought at reasonable prices.
