Ryan,

If you know how to solder, save yourself a bunch of money and buy a window
switch for a 1993 Jetta (VW #: 191 959 855) and transfer the wires from your
old switch over to the new one.  Hell, you don't even have to solder if you
don't want to, here's a picture of one I did with 90 degree electrical
connectors:

Soldering is cleaner (and better) but this works too.

You should be able to pick up that switch for about $17 (at least that's
what I sell them for).

Cheers,

Jeff

Anyone got a cheap source for those electric window switches?  255.959.855B.
I need two.  Known list vendors have 'em from 90 to 108 bucks. Ouchy.

What are your thoughts on this "conversion"?
