Mine is going up on eBay if you manage to get $200 for it. I need money to get a new radio for the mustang.

Could be because you pasted the link and then shortened it?Originally Posted by DeloreanJoshQ
You can change the text after you type/paste it in and manually add a link to it. But not when pasting a link to begin with because it changes the link's path.

I retract my comments about the DMCH mirror switch being a little pricey. It is actually somewhat of a bargain. If I jump on the band wagon and sell my original switch, I will obviously need to replace it. The bad news is I would no longer have a wiring harness. I would also need a blank plate which sells for $56 (I think) and a used SAAB switch which would cost about $20. I would still need to make some sort of wiring harness as well. Not including the wiring harness my cost would be about $76. The DMCH SAAB switch sells for $69 and is ready for installation with ZERO modification.
I don't praise DMCH for everything they do but this is a bargain. When they do good I speak out about it.

Au Contraire.
I connect up to the Internet, (at home) using an Honest-to-Goodness telephone modem...
There are still places in this country that the only option for High Speed Internet is Satellite, (at a High cost for Limited usage).
I use my Trusty Zoom USB modem at home.
(Everywhere else, I use my iPhone or laptop, and free Wi-Fi).

Has anyone noticed the price spike of the blanking caps over the last 6 months? From $2.78 to $71.55 is a pretty big jump. It is now cheaper to by the reproduction mirror switch than it is to buy a blanking cap and a Saab mirror switch. When did these reproductions start coming out?

Hilarious. I totally have one of these ordered for my carbon canister. Looking like duct tape will be the replacement down the road.

See Post #73 ($56), where did you get the $2.78 figure from?Has anyone noticed the price spike of the blanking caps over the last 6 months? From $2.78 to $71.55 is a pretty big jump.

From my "unimportant stuff but cheap enough to replace" spreadsheet which I updated earlier this year. The price seems to have been pretty consistant over the last 11 years as well according to web.archive.org. Now granted, the people that bought up these to retrofit the Saab switch drove up the price, but even at $56 that makes the markup of this one part around 1,914% I am very thankful that DMCH has helped to the dream alive, but this just makes me go hmmmmm.

I was actually talking about PN: 106249 The passenger door blanking cap for power mirrors. For the rubber cap on the carbon canister I used a vinyl bolt cover cap from home depot similar to these:

Seals great and I don't have to worry about rubber cracking and falling off in the pontoon and causing a vacuum leak.
