electric window switches?
« on: 15 May 2011, 11:55 »
Hi my car is a small bumper car that has the electric window switches in the dash as opposed to the center consol the problem is the switches dont fit well at all (some times they just push through the dash) im starting to think they are the wrong switches? as all the pics i can find of electric window switches in mk2,s is ones where they are in the consol. has anyone got any pics of there window switches so that i can compare them with mine. thanks. this is the mess i have

I'd hazard a guess they have been retro fit. I've never seen them on the dash.

they are not straight because of the size of the holes. i think molegti is wright and they must of been fitted at a later date and as the center consol only has a storage hole above the ash tray someone has stuck the switches in the dash. so now i just need to sort out the best way to tidy them up with out changing the consol. thanks all :smiley:

Correct fitment for that type of switch...



What's in your center console?

What year is your car? that looks like a very early item, the correct console should be easy and cheap to get hold of, and just drop straight in, if OE looms have been used, then they should reach the correct position on the new console...

Blanks!



Would have thought you car would have had EW's from Factory, maybe the first owner wanted manuel winders, or someone has nabbed them!  :rolleyes:
