1997 E320 Window Switches
The last window switch went bad (with the window down) and I was forced to buy the complete switch assembly.
Is there a way to repair these switches now that I have the complete asembly out.
I tried to flush with contact cleaner with no success

BTW, if the arm of the motor really cracked like mine, you might as well just try to dis-assemble the rear door panels yourself because i watched our technician take everything out and everything was just snap on (and maybe a few bolts, i forgot) but it was like very easy. hope this helps!

....my rails on one window became slightly bent and had to be replaced - probably from the jerks who replaced my tweeters
....found the motor had to be replaced as the strain I've put on it when forcing the window up the crooked rails overtime had ruined it (I thought the slots on the A and B-pillars just needed some lubrication and it did work for a while before the window became stuck again) 
.......Moral of story - check everything thoroughly and replace any damages before its too late...
