Hey guys, and gals,
I'm sick of pushing my window buttons in my cabriolet, to close all four windows after putting the manual top up, only to see that one of the windows stayed open! Then sitting there an additional minute trying to push the button just right, so the connections are made and window makes it's way up inch by inch! This is a minor problem to have in life, but an annoying one none the less. Of course I can just replace that one button that keeps giving me trouble, but it's only a matter of time before it happens to one of the other buttons. I think this is the exact reason they were done away with in the next generation. I've been told that the E36 rocker switches will be compatible with my E30, so I've already had my specialist order 6 of them for me to replace them with. 4 in my cabriolet, and 2 in my coupe.
I guess my question is, what are your thoughts on it. Are there any downsides to making the change? Who else has felt the dread of a window not closing as thunder claps, and rain begins to pour?
I do think I might not be the biggest fan of the appearance of the new switches, but the added convenience they offer will surely out shadow any aesthetic decline.
