Power window switch cover -'97 F350

I've attempted to find a replacement for my drivers side power window switch cover, with no luck. Does anyone know where I might be able to obtain a replacement? What I'm looking for is a replacement for the cracked cover shown below. Thanks!

Try LMC, a junkyard is the other option. Oh, and welcome to FTE!

Junk yard, ebay or craigs list are your only options. No one reproduces a crewcab master window trim panel.

I was about to remove the bezel to see if I could get a part number off it, but I am a little leery on doing just that since it could actually break in the process. If you have spares, any chance you could check to see if you can read a part number off it? It would help in my internet searches and contacts with junk yards, I assume.

It is totally obsolete. LMC, etc do not have it either. Your best bet is (hopefully) finding one in a JY somewhere. I have given up finding one for my CC resto and will be mounting switches elsewhere to control the rear windows.

Real easy fix, fiberglass it, sand it down and paint it. Bit of work but it wont break again to easy.

Thanks for the part number! Perhaps I will be able to find one either online or through contact with a JY.

In regard to the fiberglass option, I'm just not that knowledgeable in that area to pull it off. I did read a recent article in "Wired" magazine that covered 3D printing services using CAD/3D files. Once the object is drawn out in your CAD software, and then converted to a 3D image file, a number of different companies can then 3D print it in medium such as plastic. Sounds promising, now I just need to learn how to use a CAD program.

Oh well, my search for that part continues. Thanks for all the tips and info from you all, much appreciated!

Found this

I found an aftermarket one on ebay, and finally broke down and bought one. Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Window-Switch-Trim-Bezel-1995-1997-Ford-F-series-Crew-cab/132878515557/ I have put it off for too long, and figured $40 was worth it. It looks great and it's hefty. Should last a long while. Thank you all for saving my hide, more than a few times!

Replacement bezel for 1997 Ford F350 Crew Cab

Has anyone purchased the 3D printed bezel ? If yes, how does it fit and look ? I've been trying to find a replacement for mine for a long time.

Thanks !

They fit like crap, they're too short.And not wide enough. I have tried 5 different 3D printed switch. Blade covers for my 97 from 5 different 3D. Printers, they're slightly different, but none of them fit
