Ignition switch and rear window

Man I am glad to have found this site. Soooo many questions, and so few places that pay attention to the 'other' Bronco...

First question is more important since i have lived with the second for several years. My ignition tumbler has been sticking when shutting the truck down. Sometimes it rolls freely to allow me to release the key, and sometimes it takes all my strength to turn the thing off. Only way I have found to reliably get the thing to turn is to drop the tilt all the way down. Is this a common problem or is it just my Bronco's way of trying to say to me 'Where do you think you are going?'

Second, is there any way to replace the casters on the rear window track if you are not able to bend your arms like gumby? I can't figure out how to drill the rivets and get replacements in without ripping the skin off the tailgate and my hands.

Again its nice to see a place where people love their better Broncos.

I'd start by replacing the tumbler and go from there. I suspect this will fix your problem and it's an inexpensive part.
