John-Del <ohger1s@gmail.com>: Apr 01 08:22AM -0700 My buddy has an older Mercedes convertible and he needs a microswitch for the convertible top control.   I found a couple of companies in Germany that have them, a couple on ebay (Germany), but no one ships to the U.S. and I have been unable to locate one here on this continent.   This switch has two, well, tits that physically hold it in place, so he's not happy about adapting something else as it took some maneuvering to get it out.   Anyone have a lead to one that I can get shipped to this third world nation?   https://www.ebay.de/itm/Zippy-Mikroschalter-DW-N2S-01A0F-Z-12-V-DC-0-1A-1-x-Ein-Ein-tastend-1St/222446862597?hash=item33caddc105:g:0c4AAOSwP2Rcnedq   Thanks.

Thanks asshole lawyers..

On the other hand, I am frankly astounded that Mercedes does not have, or cannot get the part directly. did you ask?   Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA

PLUS a damaged or cracked trace on the TL072 V+ bus causing lack of power. $5 in pots and a couple jumpers and it's back up and working fine. oddly the exterior looks undamaged so who knows how exactly it occurred.
