Hello all
Does anyone know where i can get a high quality window switch? The plastic replacements are just garbage!!!!
NOS would be great, but any good metal part will do.
Thanks-------Save the wave!!!!

Try http://lectriclimited.com, they have pretty decent stuff. 
I'd call them and see if they are the metal switches.

Part # 01725109R reproduction switches $25 each.


GEN III 5.7L "LS6" Engine swap
TKO500 5 spd.

3.54 Dana 44

Vette(s): 1973 Orange Metallic Coupe (orig owner), L82, 4 spd (WR), PS, (A/C & PW (I installed from wrecked 73)), leather, AM/FM Stereo, ran with '65 FI unit earlier & will again some day. 2023 Accelerate Yellow HTC Stingray
Paragon ==> $26
Corvette Central ==> $19.95
Willcox Corvette ==> $19.99, NOS ==> $125

FWIW, they all look the same including the NOS and they look to be plastic.

Was your original metal?

Thanks!! I will check these out. By the way the original is a metal case. The replacement i tried is all plastic and after a few days it gets stuck after actuation!! Its just junk from Eklers that they repackaged from corvette america..
