Window switch plastic. Searched.

Alright, so I've had to replace my window switches twice in the past year because the plastic rocker that moves the actual electric part of the switch breaks, and doesn't put enough pressure on the switch, thereby not making it go down.

I've tried plastic weld, I've replaced them twice, and had the same problem within months.

Anyone know of a place that sells JUST the plasic part of the switches? Not the internals? Or some sort of way to fix it to where it'll last for longer than a week?

Thanks.

you can get a new switch out of a older mazda MPV van and it is supposed to work and fit.

i saw a thread about it a few months back and the ones on the van are made of rubber i think.

try to search some more and im sure you will stumble upon it.

I did search for this.

I'm basically looking for somewhere that I can get JUST the plastic part of the switch. Not the electronics. Anyone?
