Broken window switch? Sorry sir, not so easy.

Mine has broken twice even though hardly used on the passenger side.
It is a very fragile part, it seems.
Has been replaced under warranty.

 

Now that's lemonade from lemons thinking!
You guys still in lockdown @ the end of US-1?

It is probably not the same switch exactly, but the switch might be easily repairable. The switch on the passenger side of my 612 broke and I read the thread I post below. I did the same repair and it is actually stronger than the original switch.

Just for future reference if anyone has a broken switch, and fwiw -

Looks like these window switches are weak indeed and prone to breakage.

I just purchased a CPO 2016 Cali T and during CPO inspection they found one of the window switches broken.

New part ordered and will be replaced before they ship the car to me next week.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

My drivers window switch is loose. Was your car under the New Power Warranty?

 

Well, predictably, the drivers' side switch on my Cali T broke yesterday, or at least, one side of it did, it's loose now but still working. I was able to order a pair of switches for $18 a piece, which is fine, as I expect the passenger side switch will not be far behind. But does anyone know how to remove the existing switch to pop the new one in? That's missing from the workshop manual.

 

There are two types of buttons - older pop in type and newer screw in. I tried ordering the buttons but old pop in style is unavailable. Only way to fix is replace both switches + wiring. Dealer replaced mine a few weeks ago. Not cheap.. Probably can do yourself but looks like it requires removing the console.

 

Off topic, but the potential issue with the top sounds worrying !!

There are a few of the original clip in buttons left on ebay.
If you like Scuderiacarparts.com can send you the updated L & R switches with updated, screw on buttons for $668 + shipping.

 

I have the car in for service now with RH button broken. I have the New Power Warranty but they said it's not covered. How did you all get it covered through warranty??

 

Not covered by new power. I thought about fixing it myself but let dealer do it. $800 installed

If you can get it covered great! if not you can get an OEM left and right button (not switch) Here - https://www.ebay.com/itm/164820788981?epid=22034207370&hash=item266015a6f5:g:8SEAAOSwbPtgfGhx (You may find a less expensive source)
Replaced my right button a year ago or more, , pop out pop in button no issues so far.

 

Jeez, $250 a pair for $35 buttons plus $15 to ship. Made an offer which he generously countered at $245

 

Those $250 buttons don't really fix the problem. Still the old wimpy design.. Might want to just bite the bullet and replace with new ones

 

Does anyone have pics of how to replace. I saw the 2010 thread on a fix but mine is 2017 different layout. One post mentions pop out pop new one in? is it that easy? Do you just use a plastic tool to put under the switch and with leverage pop the switch up?

 

It just pops right out, but you want to be gentle so you don't damage anything around it. But if you bought the current switch that they replaced the old one with, it's not going to fit. The newer switch has screw holes in it.

 

Thanks for the information. I just purchased a 2017 Cali T HS. Previous owner had the switch serviced and F Dealer told they were no longer made. As a result it turns out the dealer epoxied the switch, and called it fixed. Fast forward two weeks and the switch has failed with window stuck in the up position. Bay Area F dealer is quoting $400+++ depending on parts but looks like it will need to new switch replacement module.

 

If you remove the switch, you will see there is a square "hole" beneath it; pushing on either the front or back side of the square will operate the window. So if you pop it out, you should be able to make the windows work. It seems entirely possible to take the broken switch and rework it somehow so it will operate, which is probably what they attempted to do. Both of mine are loose but I just baby them and they work okay.

 

I got the power warranty for my 2013 California. The hard top and DCT are very expensive repairs, and the warranty covers these. A word of advice: if you carry items in your trunk, use bungee cords to secure them. Items can shift around as you drive, and you don't want ANYTHING to interfere with those moving parts. Make sure trunk items are secure, and don't stow items except in designated areas per the manual.

 

reviving old thread i am going to order this part for my 2016 F12 my switches are the old design that pop off with the square post in the middle. will these replacements fit? or are these replacements the screw in newer design?
