    My 1990 Estate Wagon always has something to fix!

    The newest little issue is that the drivers door power seat controls fell down inside the door. Luckily the switch still works but the tab that kept up in the door broke off. Replacements that I have found are $40-$50...and some of them had broken tabs already!

    Any easy fix or good replacement parts ideas?

    Thanks guys!
    (picture is it wedged up so I can use it, but it falls into the door all the time)

    Try this: the entire panel comes up out of the armrest; crumple up pieces of a paper grocery sack and stuff them inside the armrest, under where the switch is. Then lower the panel, compressing the paper under the switch. At the very least, it won't fall all the way into the armrest.
