Re: Where can I find new hatch release switch and power mirror switch?

Yeah I'd avoid third gen ranch. There's nothing good that has been said by people about them. If you don't have to have new, I'm sure you can find some on here. I know somebody on here is selling a pair of rear hatch switches but they are from a corvette of the same era. They should work without modification and I think he wants $15 for both.

As far as brand new, I can't help you there. Hawks third gen is probably the best place I currently know of for stuff that's hard to find or impossible to find and sometimes is only available from them. 1A auto is good but they don't have power window switches so they might not have the hatch switch.

If you were being serious I will take those sweeps off your hands and save them from the trash.

Just wanted to reach out to see what you had an issue with while installing these, and what kit you had purchased. We have a tech line that you guys can call if you're stuck trying to install a product.

We also have a 60 return policy on non custom orders, so if you're not satisfied with a product that we carry. Call our sales staff and we'll arrange a return for you.

I don't want you guys to feel like you're stuck with an inferior product, so if something goes wrong. Definitely contact us.

Regards,
Tony

I have made several purchases from 1AAuto over the last few months. VERY happy with the service and the product!!!! Awesome videos as well. Seems like a great company that puts customers first.

Re: Where can I find new hatch release switch and power mirror switch?

Just a note on thirdgenranch.com:

I badly needed a new/used air d*m for my 84 Z.
Thirdgenranch had a used one for $10 bucks.
I ordered it and paid thru Paypal (just in case).
It arrived in DAYS and was in excellent shape to boot.

So in my experience it was safe to order from Thirdgenranch.
