I've seen an old post on here once but don't know if the person ever found it. Doesn ANYONE have a source for a good master window switch connector? (1984). The screw holes in mine are basically gone and I don't know how I'm going to keep it attached to the bezel. I have the Ford part number but nobody seems to have it. My junkyards have nothing. If there absolutely is nothing available, has anyone done anything to modify the connector to keep it attached to the switch bezel? Thanks.
The connector actually holds the switch into the door? Never had power windows on one of these old trucks.
Not exactly... the switch bezel has metal tension clips that hold it into the door panel - but the switch connector has two screw holes that basically holds the switch in between the connector and bezel - so the the connector screws into the bezel. Problem is, the connector's screw holes are basically now gone!
If I am envisioning this correctly, the holes that are gone are actually "ears" made onto the connector? I think I would find some thin metal, drill small holes in the end and then bend it into a "L" and then epoxy the "L" onto each side of the connector.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. That 5 minute epoxy usually holds pretty good.

That's actually not a bad idea. I may do that. It doesn't need to hold much. It's not like I'm putting all of my weight on the switches when using them.
