I just completed the vanagon power window switch relocation kit. Went great.
I have the three switches, bezels, and relay that are removed. I know what will happen. I will put them in a "special" spot and never find them again.
So. I will send them to anyone on here that wants to pay for shipping. I have pictures. These are expensive to replace I know😩 Message me. Trade me for something interesting?

    People indiscriminately putting ads in any old thread, just happens to be the "whining 'about people's dumb ads" thread. Well done.

Sort of disappointed in the first reply to my first post. The normally genuine respect and willingness to help that vw people demonstrate is precisely why my family and I have always been Volkswagen owners. Maybe shoot me a tip about where to GIVE away the parts I have instead of being a jerk. Or maybe that is who you are? Your post and all your quotes are a joke.

Sounds like someone's jealous and can't find their "vanlife"

I somewhat understand the allure of being mysterious, but not so much when selling a vehicle.

"this gem has been sleeping for a couple years building character. the pictures are before I started cleaning it up today."
Rule #1 about selling a vehicle: By all means, don't clean it before taking photos.
