    Any recommendations where I can get these? Just had my pulley cables cleaned and re-greased but mechanic said many slow window issues are also caused by worn out window switches and recommended I get replacements.

    It is the exact same switch used in Alfas of the same era. I have an 82 Alfa Spider Veloce and the switches are absolutely identical.

    Search for the Alfa switch and save $. IAP used to sell them but they were bought out by Centerline Alfa. Try there.

    I took mine apart and cleaned them. Intermittent and slow operation went away. Its not a hard task at all.

    Yes. I also used removed the little metal rockers and sanded the points with very fine sandpaper. Take a small slotted screwdriver and gently pry off the top half of the switch. If I remember correctly, there are 2 rockers with springs. They really do work a lot better !

    Looks like I may have but there is a guy on eBay selling them for a few dollars more. Before I bought these on Amazon, I contacted him to combine shipping if I bought two and he never responded. His loss.

    If you search eBay for 12V 20A 20Amp Universal Car Vehicle Power Window Switch Rocker you should be able to find the equivalent. No idea on the quality though.

    If you read some of the reviews, some say they are slightly smaller than the original 308 switches and they wiggle around when popped back in. The ones FannyB posted are a perfect fit. I guess if you by from Amazon and they don't fit, you can easily send them back.
