Got fedup with people saying 'your window switch is loose'.

 

I bet I am not the only one that has a switch with the little plastic hooks broken off.

 

Fix:

 

Take a simple electrical double spade connector (See pic)

 

Drill out a small hole in the spade end.

 

Unscrew the existing screw behind the switch and fit the connector.(see pic)

 

Bend the connector at an angle and push it back in.

 

There is enough spring in the metal to secure it.

 

Job done.

 

Small screwdriver can prise it out again if necessary.

 

 

Not exactly rocket science but it works......will let you lot decide whether something this simple should go in the FAQ section... :) .

Similiar too 'Wiping your arse with broken glass isnt a good idea'.....PMSL! :rofl:

This has got to be one of the most common problems.

Well done Martin, I will be using that technique myself.

thanks for that Martin. ive got the same problem. its amazing how something as little as a slightly loose passenger window console can spoil the whole of the interior!

Cheers Martin .. I have this problem as well. I will be using this to fix it up properly.

Good man. Top tip! :)

So do we but what relevance does :xxx: have to this thread? :confused:

Balls!! Had the same problem with the passenger window switch. Went and bought a new surround at £stupid.99 :( :slap:

My switch isn't loose but the surround is. Will this cure the problem?

The surround has been loose on mine for years - will get around to fixing it one day ...........
