my son pressed too hard on the front window switch and consequently the front portion of the switchplate assembly has broken loose inside the panel (the upper/back is still affixed firmly).
Wondering if I epoxyed a flat piece of metal...say a 1/2" washer (or two) across both sides of the joint if they'd hold (get 'er done)?
I've only briefly and blindly felt up beneath the assembly.
thoughts?

If you have felt underneath the switch control plate you are almost ready to take it out and have a good look. I have done this and it is not a difficult task. The following link gives excellent detail about removing the panel, plus how to repair a nonfunctioning switch.

I recently purchased on ebay what was advertised as a new window switch asssembly, in the opened mb box. I installed it & it worked fine on all the windows except the one that didn't move in the first place- the problem turned out to be a broken window regulator, so I do not need the assembly. If you are looking to purchase a replacement part, please let me know.
