Thanks for explaining this - now three years in it has been perfectly helpful for me and I got the courage to try and replace my Crafter passenger switch!! Turned out it hadn’t been reconnected after painting 😣 but now it works and my door panel is reattatched!

Ugh I hate messing with door panel stuff. I always have to do it because Jessie gets impatient and things sometimes get broke. I always tell him he can't just ape it! It takes a bit of ease. So rather than watching him rip stuff apart, I just do it LOL.

Oh mate I checked VW by me and they where quoting the same kind of price . I’ll admit the one i fitted isn’t the best made so I’m going ro pick up a propper one for about £60 and re fit it . It works fine but the mirror adjustment can be a little glitchy . But for the windows it’s perfect

The 'Pokey Thing' or as it is referred to in the US "Poker' has been a staple in both traditional and modern lives since the dawn of the industrial age. Invented in 1620 by George T. Pokerson as a means of fending off lab rats during times of virulent outbursts, the originql Pokey Thing was little more than a meal rod with an end that was sharpened to a slight point. Far different than the Pokey Things of todays mroe elegent design.

Hi John, thank for the comment, we are both on Instagram more than the other platforms, and we both also enjoy watching people build and make things on different channels, there are so many talented people out there and have so many interesting ideas, we love anyone who thinks outside of the box and makes it work!
