Basically you drill a small hole inside the frame on the bottom portion, and run a very small screw in there on each side of the bottom. That essentially replaces the old hooks, and is invisible if you do it right. I've also had very good luck gluing the old hooks back on with CA (superglue) if the surfaces are clean. bmc :) "Faith will move mountains, but you'd better bring a shovel...." > From: "Laurence Smith" <lsmith@cogeco.ca> > Reply-To: <laurence@alanasmith.com> > Date: Fri, 1 Mar 2002 15:40:15 -0500 > To: "Ben McCafferty" <ben@KBMC.NET> > Subject: RE: Power Window Problem - Driver's Side Switch Quit > > Ben, > > Can you explain your fix (to the list, maybe) for the frame holding > the power switch?
