Default Window switch

The window switch on my drivers window is finicky and must be pushed hard and in in the right spot to go back up. I looked at replacements thinking it would be a cheap fix... sure, if I had memory seats it would be... WTF a new switch assembly WITHOUT memory is hundreds of dollars everywhere I look? But I can get a memory panel for well under a hundred. What gives? Maybe I should pop it off and see if I can knock the button in place? Any advice on this would be appreciated, I really don't want to spend hundreds of dollars because I don't have the luxury option...

170 is much better, still high IMO but much better. Thanks a lot for that site, found a few other things I needed for much better prices as well!

You can install a Memory switch. Many people do it. There is not a problem electrically.

I was thinking about that last night! Wasn't sure if the plugs were different or something but was going to ask this morning. Thanks!

I actually placed an order already for a hazard switch, door panel covers and battery clamp kit. I didn't order the switch yet because I wanted to check on the idea of just buying a memory switch and calling it a day... who knows, I would like to convert to a power seat one day so maybe it will come in handy? I appreciate the quick offer to help out!
