[urq] Brown window switches ?

[louis-alain.richard at sympatico.ca]

Thanks Peter and Tony,

Just called Audi this morning and no leftovers for both brown switches
anywhere in North America. 
(811-959-855 01Z (1983) and 431-959-561 01Z, (1980-82)).

However, the newer black switches are still available (447-959-855 01C,
1984, 70$cdn and 443-959-855D 01C, 1985-87, 90$cdn) and in stock at my
dealer... it must mean something about the longevity of these...

Time to switch the switches.

Louis-Alain
