I installed the Go Westy window switches after my window regulator failed just as I came up to the Canadian Border Crossing Officer. He was not amused. But that's another story. I found the GW instructions to be clear and concise and the switches to be of good quality. But what I like best is that you don't need the ignition switch to be ON in order for the windows to work. We found that to be very convenient when camped.
