It's stuck when I push it in and I have to fuss with it to make it pop back out. When I pull the switch out from the panel I can just push it in and out fine, but once it's put back into the panel it's stuck. There any way to fix it or just have to get a replacement?

Can you fix a sticky rear defroster switch?

dood don't screw w/ a bad defrost switch...they can get stuck on and break you back window if left on for a long time. I would just pick up another switch...a good used one would be fine.Last edited by asubimmer; 02-08-2006, 02:33 PM.///Alpinweiß II 24v 91' 318is, Alpinweiß III 99' 323i, 04' Yamaha R6 SE for sale, 00' VW GTi, 83' El Camino BURNED, 01' P71sold, 92' Miatasold

I agree with ASU. I've heard too many of the broken rear window stories. I'd just replace it.

Mine turns off when the car is off. My button also gets stuck sometimes. I just punch it with my thumb and it pops back out.-Brandon
