01 BMW 325Ci Power Window Switch Failure

This is actually a mechanical failure of an electrical part. For maximum irony? It failed while trying to put the window up which is ok until Wednesday when it's supposed to rain. The switch feels like it's no longer connected to anything inside, because it isn't. There's an elaborate assembly of plastic levers and pivot points which weakened over time and broke.
Conveniently if you take the switch apart you can actuate the internal mechanism directly. It's too dark to go outside and try it tonight, so I'll see if it works in the morning. A new one's on the way so I only need to deal with this for a couple days.
