electric window switches
I'm a little confused regarding the windows switches on mine.
Basically they don't fit?
are they from a different car? or are the holes to big?
basically what do i need to replace to make it work
thanks :)

Re: electric window switches
The switches in your picture were the later dealer fitted ones. They are similar to the later MK2 Golfs, Corrados and Passats of the same era. The original Scirocco ones are a rocker type that don't illuminate (sorry don't have a picture to hand).

Re: electric window switches
when you say later mate do you mean later roccos or later models? ie corrado ect.
Im guessing i am needing some of the rocker ones then as these are quite a bit off fitting even though they work lol

Re: electric window switches
The later model Sciroccos were fitted with electric window switches like the ones you have.

Re: electric window switches
i think that there is 2 different surrounds for the switches?
seem to remember having a similar problem and i changed the surround.

Re: electric window switches
There are surround for the switches, single for passenger and double for drivers side but not very easy to come by.Jack92 wrote:That's joost,

Re: electric window switches
might be easier to change your doorcard?
just to make sure i'm on the right track it is that the hole in the card is too big for the surround to fit?

Re: electric window switches
probably not the switch but the surround my switches fitted fine in the bigger surround or you could get a door card with a smaller hole?

Re: electric window switches
These are the factory fit switches that I have in my Storm. The dealers were fitting a different sort (like the original picture) on the last of the MK2's.Blueshark wrote:These are the switches you need.
