    Arrived perfectly here Jes: THANX very much !

    Placed your "Alfa Romeo 75/Milano" switch right away in my 512TR and ALL functions of both mirrows are now working again ! Problem solved.

    Now WHY did the switch NOT function well .... you have to open my (old oem) switch and now you can see why: dirt and too much old grease :(

    And corroded little contacts are not clean anymore ... (left/right function)

    Thanx again F Chat friend Jes ar4me: a little part, sent over from U.S.A., helped me in The Netherlands, Europe !!

    P.S.
    Found the oem partnumber at Eurospares: Ferrari 512 TR - EXTERNAL WIEW MIRROR SWITCH Part No. 134414 on their page 110 and part# 012.
    This switches is also used in F348 and F512M.

    Great fix for the car! ..... BUT with a "Non-Ferrari garden hose" the car is now worth 145.53 euros at most :) I WILL GLADLY take it off your hands (YOU pay the shipping to Puerto Rico of course!) ;)

    Just kidding ... great to know that not all Ferrari fixes do not cost an arm and a leg....

    I am not so sure that it is non-Ferrari. It looks pretty close to the Italian hose- http://www.FerrariParti/regolatore.it

    Mel,
    I just serviced the window winding motor and track in my 512TR and found there is a rubber bump stop at the bottom of the track which the sliding mechanism hits when the window goes down.
    I think the bent bracket and jammed mechanism you experienced are because this rubber bump stop had probably disintegrated and the track crashing into the metal bracket bent it over time.

    For others doing this service, you can remove the motor and worm gear as a unit without removing the entire track. Just pull the wiring to the motor, there are 2x bolts plus one philips head machine screw holding the gearbox body to the bracket, wiggle out to disengage the drive pin and pull the unit out of the door.
    I could grease the track in the door and disassembled/clean/grease the motor and worm drive on the bench.

    I noticed the windows running slower last summer, it’s winter and I’m bored :)
