Re: window switch nos gm?
NOS to me is a genuine in the GM packing product.
But many sellers state "NOS" because it is a exact repro or in some cases the exactly the same item from the same maker that supplied the OEM part to GM in the 1st place years ago; just without the original packaging
I know in the case of Vette repo parts ,the Vette specialists have gone to the original parts supplier and got them to use their original molds /dies etc to make runs of long discontinued parts which they then package and sell under their own label

Re: window switch nos gm?
The PWD is a repro, not NOS. NOS is old stock that has never been used. Whether original tooling was used or not, if it was made today it is either a replacement or a repro of the original. So he misrepresented the product and you should be entitled to a full refund. I have the PWD switches. While they looked nice, they did not work correctly. I wound up taking the top portion off and swapping them onto my original switches which worked fine but looked like crap.
