Leon electric window switch

[russman68]

Hi everyone,

The middle of my passenger electric window switch has fallen through into the door just checking, is this the one i'm after?

It looks a bit 'big' if you know what i mean...

Thanks!!

Oh by the way its for an 03 LCR, think theyre all the same though...

You could always email the seller to get some basic dimensions?.

Sounds like a weird fault though, I wonder how common that is? ,

You mean the picture of the window has fallen off inside the switch? I think it's quite common, it happened to me. They're relatively easy to take apart and glue back together, but you might as well pick one up from ebay if cheap enough. That looks like the right one on ebay.

 

[russman68]

Yea, the seller seems to have taken a vow of silence atm and is not replyin to emails. I think i've read quite a few threads describing this problem, thats right the little picture of the window (always seems to be passenger side).

Think i'll go for it, pretty cheap anyway.

Did you take the door card off to fit it Steve?

 

[Steve]

No, you can just prise the old one off and then unplug it. Be careful not to mark the door card though.

ahhh yeah its happened to my mates that has!

 

[russman68]

unfortunatly it means that using the switch you can only put the window down and not up! Very annoying having to do it from the drivers side every time..

Do you know if the small window which has fallen through can be easily retrieved when you remove the switch?

Happened to me this, seams to be quite a common problem but mines an 05 so got it done on warranty asked the guy behind the counter he said in all fairness they are only a fiver so not a big issue. Just fecking annoying. LoL

Looks too big to me, but I'm stuck in work at the moment so can't check.


I've got one of these (out of a Mk1 Leon/Mk2 Toledo) you can have for £3.99 posted if you want it ;-)

[TllEWL]

Just checked on the car - the one in the eBay ad is correct (I was convinced the one in the pass. doorcard was one like on the rears)

This also means that I've only got the one - not 3 - and Funkyfin2000's swiped it

Sorry

 

[russman68]

[russman68]

Sorry i'm a bit slow at typin

Okj no probs... i'll grab that one off bay. cheers tho!

You can take the switch apart quite easily so you could presumably take the actual switch out of a rear one and put it into the larger trim of the front passenger one.

When my window picture fell out it got stuck inside the switch and you couldn't put the window back up again as well.

Oh i dont really trust myself taking things apart... will end up gettin carried away and have it in 1000 pieces!

ive bought this one for my mates who is paranoid about his car, so il get the garage to fit this part next time he has a service!
