window switch does not match
one of my power window switches was going bad. it still worked most of the time but the rocker would pop in and out of the housing at random intervals. i thought i would take the high road so to speak and ordered a new one from out sponsor and spent the extra money for the "porsche" version. when it arrived the rocker had a matte finish on it and the originals were all gloss. called pelican and was told that is all that is available.
would anyone happen to have a good used one available? it may sound insignificant but now my eyes are drawn to it every time i get in the car and it is annoying the hell out of me. i really don't want to drop another $80-85 for 2 more to make it all match again.

I got my replacement switch on eBay and it matches perfectly my old one (except that it actually works!
 ).It is item 120377954565, for only $13.00 + $3.50 shipping. I have no affiliation with the vendor, I am just a satisfied customer.

what's worse are the URO brand replacements. even the clips on the ends are plastic. i'm not real fond of URO electric stuff.

it's kind of hard to tell in that pic. is the rocker matte or gloss?

I had the same problem when I replaced one of my drivers side switch. I used the matt one on the passenger side, and moved the gloss to the drivers side.
