Subject:90 Westfalia - sticking power window switches - interior cleaning - jumpseat mounting

Hey everyone - first and foremost - thanks for all the replys regarding the
parts I'm looking for. Cool community you have going on here. I am afraid to
skip checking emial daily though! You guys communicate!
 
Topics at hand - is there a way to clean or "lubricate" the power window
switches so that they don't stick? My grandma has the same year van as mine
- and hers are smooth as silk (now it has barely been driven!) I woudl hate
to short them out since they are about 100 a pop - so 300 to replace all of
them by spraying something in there that doesn't belong! Bzzzzttt!!
 
Cleaning the interior - I don't know that the interior of this van has been
cleaned in a long time. Not like disgusting or filthy - just plain dirty.
Suggestions on cleaners / protectors that may be biodegradable and not
damage any of the interior panels?
 
OK - one more - the cargo area inside the sliding door has been recarpeted -
but I want to instal the jumpseats (I have the original seats - never been
sat on!) and the peg hole is no longer visible. Is there a spot in the floor
where the pegs of the jumpseats insert? My wife wants me to take it back to
stock carpet. Will it have holes already?
 
THANKS!
