Default astra power windows

The mrs drives an 05 astra, it has a dicky drivers side front power window switch. She was quoted $450 for the switch and $50 for the auto elec to install.
Can anyone provide a link to a cheaper switch?
I'm not on any holden forums or I would ask there.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks Steve

A Holden wrecker? You might have to call a couple. Maybe Ebay?

that price dosent surprise me. had to get a price for a Jackeroo drivers switch about 6 years ago and it was almost $500.

I've got an 05 and o8 Viva in my wrecking yard - pretty sure they are the same, so might be able to help you out. Also have an 05 Astra, but the switch may be gone - pm me if you want, being an AFF member I will look after you.
