I've been in touch with Lorenzo about cleaning up the 4 switches / buttons (windows, MSP and SPORT) on the panel console of my GS. My reservation is that I'll need to take them out, be without them while they go off to the USA, and hope they don't go missing before refitting.
I'd feel a lot happier if I knew there was a back-up set of buttons to hand. So I was wondering whether anyone was lucky enough to have bought replacement switches and buttons while they were available and still have their old manky ones lying about. I thought we could create a spare set which gets passed around the forum.
Here's how I envisage it working. I'll put together a manky set and send it off to Lorenzo for him to work his magic. Once they're back, I'll swap out the refurbished ones for my manky ones (panel off just the once and no downtime), and the manky ones become available to the next forum member who wants to do the same.
So, if you have any spares you're willing to contribute please PM me. We don't want anyone being significantly out of pocket, so if the donor buttons change hands for more than a nominal fee that cost will need to be passed on to the next person who makes use of them. The merry-go-round will presumably stop one day, and don't forget that even those with new OEM buttons may one day find themselves with the issue returning, assuming they still have the car, so please bear in mind when setting your asking price!
Assuming there's no significant financial outlay I'm happy to get the ball rolling for sets other than the 4 GS parts I'm interested in, so let me know what you have lying around.
And if there's a better way to do this then please let me know...
