Has anyone had any problems with their switches breaking? I had one go last winter and the 2nd one go last week. Basically they are now in the on position constantly and when you push them in they don't "click" and stay in the off position.

I've taken the lights out so they don't burn all the time and I can probably replace the whole assembly with the moonroof control I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and fixed it a different way.

Thanks.

No I haven't but I bet it is something you use a lot from reading this. Maybe someone might have a spare set. Do you have the W8 light setup on yours? Many upgraded I understand and does this also include the switches?

I'm pretty sure it's the W8 setup with the fancy dial and red lights. I need to pull it apart again and double check if you can actually remove just the switch.

I haven't had trouble with my W8 switch panel, but I don't use it much. The original crap fell apart. The W8 panel is its replacement.
