TRSCobra Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Same here, feels like it is going to snap off. I'm going to try the WD40 tonight, it's really pissing me off. I hope you didn't do this. WD40 isn't good for plastic and WILL make it worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More so concidering work is soon going to a gated system that willr equire me to roll down my window and scan in to the parkign lots... Yeah, that's my issue too. When I roll up to the gate and can't put my window down, that's kind of lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBieXT Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I had this problem too. Luckily it happened while I was still under warranty and they replaced the switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimberDHexMods Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Someone will eventually have to pull off the assembly and look for loose connections or bad contacts, and apply a lubricant that doesn't eat plastic. Hopefully someone will do this and post about it before I get around to it.

Duker Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 It feels to me like the switch is just too big and the bottom catches. Could be wrong though. If I get bored this weekend I may rip it apart to take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClimberDHexMods Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Since they work fine from the factory, it's not just a fitment issue.

Mega Users LieutenantDan Posted July 30, 2010 Mega Users Share Posted July 30, 2010 This has been covered and explained in rather vived detail.... The driver's window switch is constructed differently than the other 3 in its cluster No amount of lube or anything else is going to fix it Mine used to stick, then it kind of broke free but now I have auto down and up controls(suckers) The reason it quits working is because when it sticks, it keeps the window motor running The motor has a safety cut-off so it doesn't burn up and it stays off for 30 seconds or so When starting the car, the switch has to be in the right orientation or it will trip the safety switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooklynBoy Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Do you have the link with the vivid detail ? Just curious. Do it right the first time.........or don't bother doing it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanB Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Solution? I believe the solution at this point is replacement of the switch. Many try silicon based lube with mixed results, it helps, but it's not a fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you have a part number I could look up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
