Mike, et al,

Don't bother with a used one.  If you don't mind a little soldering (or
crimping), buy a brand new switch for a late 80's, early 90's Jetta or Golf
(VW #:191 959 855) and move your old switches wires over to the new switch.
Except for the soldered on wires, the switches are pretty much identical.

The Jetta/Golf Window switches cost about $18 brand new.

Here's a picture of one I just did.  I used 90 degree crimp connectors
instead of soldering the wires on.

No, they aren't all the same.  Tha Vanagon use two different window switches
and each has different leads/ connectors attached. ( I bought much cheaper
ones that don't have the leads soldered onto the male tabs, and made my own
leads.)

The driver's side-passenger window switch works like a 3-way light switch,
to provide the power feed to the passenger side- passenger window switch. If
you somehow patch in the wrong type, the passenger window won't work
properly.  BTDT.

Anyone have one?  If I get one of those, I'll give you my extra one (it's
seems like the one you need).
