Hey Guys,

You cant tell from this picture but the chrome plate that surrounds my window switch is broken and not holding the switches in place. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement chrome plate to install on my window switch?

jtwoods4,

The plate is  not sold separately, you need to buy a new switch assembly.

Tks

I have that switch spare. It shows its age, but if you're interested PM me and we'll figure it out :)

Hi
I use a supplier here in Oz who is extremely reliable and his prices more than competitive. I would imagine the big killer is postage to Ireland. The link is below, for what it is worth.

Somebody should really start making these chrome pieces out of real chrome-plated steel.  Because they ALWAYS end up damaged and peeling.  Most switch failures start with this piece coming loose and other internal pieces getting pushed funny directions or lost as a result.
