Good source for power window button?
The driver’s side power window button is chipping. Ebay and Amazon offer replacement buttons/caps, each with many negative comments. I realize all of these are aftermarket. Has anyone found a source that’s actually good? If so, please share.

I bought a whole unit (new) from ALIBABA (I think i paid $35 US) You have to get the right unit (with folding mirror or not). Replace the unit by pry out the door panel, un-screw the old unit, unplug all the wiring connectors, reverse the procedure when put it back. I bought some replacement button on EBAY (void to buy from seller in Europe or Turkey), it work, but will peel the black paint within weeks. DO NOT used the hand lotion on theses buttons. That's my experience with window button peeling. The cost of individual button cost $5 to 8/each, I have more than 1 button peeling, that why i replace the whole unit NEW.
