power window switch question

[Tom Tom Turbo]

my driver's power window switch is messed up. The chrome part that you push up/down is loose and feels like it isn't connected to anything. The window goes down, but not back up without messing with the switch at differnt angles for a few minutes. Should I replace the whole switch assembly? The dealer has one in stock for $34.18. Anyone else have this problem?

I found the dual switch in "Help" isle at my local Pep Boys. Its an exact match. I think I paid like $17 or so. They carry the single switches too.. Dealer are always too pricey>

how easy are they to put in and how the $&*! does the door card come off?

You can pry the switch off with out removing the door trim. There are two metal clips on the sides of the switch that clamp it tight against a metal retainer on the trim panel. Just pry up the switch with a screwdriver and it should pop out. Also check the condition of the ring teminals on the wire connector as these will sometimes break.
