Default 69' Hideaway Switch Consensus ...

hi, all ...

car's original switch was, even after deep cleaning, binding in-out really badly so I grabbed one from Ames. theirs looks mostly the same but doesnt have that push button set up to lock shaft into assemble and a third of the time you turn headlight's on whole shaft comes out ... pretty hilarious.

anyway .. while I had nose off I rebuilt actuators, put new bushings in .. hoses are good. I sealed seals where they meet actuators but did not tie seal where shaft passes through it .. hope this isnt a deal breaker. seal, bound directly to shaft, seemed really stressed having to move that full distance.

after getting nose up there I tried headlight's but got no love ... when I checked hose connection at switch basically switch came apart in my hand. im about to go out there now and yank the thing off dash but was wondering if there's a consensus on repop switches or should I look for a clean OEM?

thanks,
mike
