Window Switches Sticky - Clean, or Replace?

About 2 years ago, someones foot (might have been mine?) from the back seat knocked over two fully opened cokes all over my center console... it all pretty much soaked in down there... kinda ruined 'the moment.' Juz playing, anyways, ever since then, in cold weather my window switches sometimes feel sticky and will hold in place when pushed up or down (I always wanted EXPRESS rear windows! ). About 6 months ago, I removed the driver's side window switch and completely took it apart (why in the H3LL are there so many parts to a simple SWITCH!?), cleaned it, and after about 2 hours, got it back together and re-installed it. I think that it helped some, and the sticking is not as bad in that switch anymore. But the rest can act up sometimes and it really bugs. Perhaps it's the contact with the window switch to the wood shift bezel?

My question: What is the cost of these window switches? The front two are express down. And they are the old style switches, more square (not so round like in the 96 and newer 202). What would you suggest... replace, or clean?

Thanks a bunch guys!
