Default Broke My Window Button

On my 89, I was putting my window down, the button felt funny & then I had 2 wiggle it & put pressure on the button to get it back up. Is there just a quick fix I can do to correct it, like is it just a pin in there or something easy. I'm not a big AC guy, I like to roll with my windown down.
Any tips would be much appreciated

Buy a new switch, replace. 15-20 minute job I would guess.

The same thing happened to me about a month ago. I bought a replacement switch for $5 from rockauto.com and it was a 10 minute job.

Buy a genuine Chevrolet replacement switch. I made the mistake of buying some cheap foreign made switch from Mid America Motorworks. Within a few months it was wobbly and intermittent.

Do you really have one that's not made in China?
