Subject:Power window switch frame replacement, '91 GL.
From:T-rev Reynolds
Date:Wed, 7 Jul 2010 11:21:54 -0600

For anyone with power windows and switches that tend to hang around
more than stay in place where they are meant to be:

My plastic power window switch frames were broken and the switches
just used to hang by their wires until I taped them up with silver
"300 mph tape".  I've since hired my brother-in-law to machine two
new pieces out of aluminum to replace the original designed pieces.
He fabricated these gems with a CNC Machine.  New plastic switch
frames with their clip type design would probably not hold the
switches very well as the old door panel material was quite tired and
worn.  This new design worked out very well and looks pretty sharp if
I do say so myself!
