Hello Crew!
I am in need of 2 power window switches for my TA (1983), Does anyone have access, or a trusted source for that type of part.
I'll buy them from you, or barter a crew hat or 2!
Mine are still functioning...barely... the housing is cracking on both and the passenger switch is in BAD shape and is hit and miss it's definately on the way out, the motors are new and work great, but i still need the switches!
Console mount, black.
I have been told the Camaro switch is compatible, but i'm not sure, input is truly appreciated!

Thanks Rich

I think GM still sells the switches. I don't have any though.

Hey Paul, thanks for checking your stash, i appreciate it. Very Happy

I had my source at weston's do a search and so far zip. Shocked

I did look on ebay and found a new pair, i don't have an account, and have never been a big fan, however i may have to reconsider.
The ebay seller has the stock part number to compare.
I will send you the link, let me know what your opinion is.
Thanks
Rich

Might be a little on the steep side. These are from the same seller as I bought my LS1 brakes from. He has the by the box full.

Holy gold mine Al!!
That is a box of plastic gold right there.
I found a new set on ebay differnt seller, and he wants 69.00 for the pair
they are new and still in the GM wrapper, but heck that is a huge variation
in price!

FYI, GM stopped selling the switches over the last year. I checked for Fish last year for his 87 and they were still available. Now they're not. Crying or Very sad

And also, the 82-84 switches look different than the later ones... The earlier are all black and a little more square.

Thanks for the input i really appreciate it. You're right there Ian, not a dealer in North America has any, my source checked!
Al has a contact through EBAY, and i also found an after market that will
work, through Classic Industries.com new at 20.00 each, and i can
use my UPS and get then here over night, Life is good Very Happy

Thanks again Crew!!
