The wires breaking in the door jam is a true mess.

However,

I often realized that the switch itself is the culprit.
Hardened and rotten grease inside raises resistance, even if the wiring
is okay´ish.

I replaced my switches just a couple of days ago, with VW Polo switches
(red lit, otherwise almost the same) from 2010. Also available green-lit
before 2010.
6K* or 6N* or 191* part numbers (yes, Golf2).

Windows run almost perfectly!

You US guys probably will have troubles finding these switches though.

The UK "brickwerks" switches (and other vendors) sell China-Quantum
switches brandnew. They need a little resoldering of the rear wires, but
work fine.
