Possibly you could post a link to the bow tie, for those interested in getting one?

This is where I ordered it, from Facebook. I have it wired to the park lights, but it could be wired to the third brake light instead
Red Bowtie Light

GM has no shame. They should replace those crappy peeling bowties for free. It’s a safety issue; I get road rage every time I see one.

Imagine how the folks that buy them feel! Over $60.00 for a bow tie ?

ROAD TRIP The grandson (7) and I did a trip up to a Ham Radio convention. On the way back, I said to try the window in the back seat pass side. it went down but not back up.I have used the front switches with no problems but it didn't work. seemed like the switch in back was stuck in the down mode. We pulled over and grandson beat on the door by the switch and it started working. Now it seems to work fine. Guess it hasn't been used in a few years. One more for the 'fix it list'

Jim that may have a loose connection ? The switch should pop out fairly easy !
But the gear heads will have better info for you

In case you did not know here is a link on How to remove the switch's

the switch felt like it was jammed in the down position and wouldn't toggle upwards so I am guessing it has dirt or debris or ?? sticking it mechanically. thanks for the link, I'll most likely have to remove it for cleaning or replacement. The ones on the center 'waterfall' seem to work OK for now.

Did a couple more things. Added a rear spoiler, upgraded to the 09 shifter.
